The Center for the Application of Information Technologies (CAIT) was established in 1988 as the Satellite Education Network (SEN) in the College of Education at Western Illinois University. CAIT was created with a $6.5 million United States Department of Education Star Schools Grant and went on to receive a total of four United States Department of – more... Education Star Schools Grants.
CAIT's original mission was to provide instructional and in-service resources to Illinois K-12 teachers and students. In July 1996, the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) formally approved the establishment of the Center for the Application of Information Technologies in the College of Education and Human Services at Western Illinois University. CAIT is now a separate center at the university.
Since its inception, CAIT has been involved in computer networking, instructional development, and the effective use of media. CAIT has developed a variety of technical and process systems that support the dynamic web interactions that are the feature of its web-based projects. With the knowledge, experience and technical resources to develop and deliver web-based solutions for its clients, CAIT is unique in that it combines both the technical resources (people and technology) and the practical experience all in one location. By working with content experts and learners everyday, the staff understands that each project is unique and this individuality must be reflected in the development process. Finally, CAIT believes that when all is said and done, the most important result is the outcome for the learner/user.
CAIT has been at the leading edge of instructional technology development since its beginning. Highlights of CAIT's success in instructional technology include:
