SITT MC Dr. Andy Jones welcomes participants to SITT 2020

The Summer Institute on Teaching and Technology (SITT) is the oldest yearly teaching institute at UC Davis, providing opportunities for faculty to collaborate with other colleagues and staff who are excited about enhancing student learning. SITT is a no-cost event hosted each year by Academic Technology Services, and is supported by many other units on campus, including the Center for Educational Effectiveness. For 2020, SITT took place entirely virtually during the week of July 20 with a mix of live online events and pre-recorded talks hosted by faculty and staff presenters on the theme "Remotely Possible: Moving Beyond the Emergency." All of this year's SITT presentations will be available indefinitely on this site, including recordings of live events. Additional materials are available to download on the details page for each talk or in the Resources section.
