The Center for Instructional Technology was established and it's mission is to promote and develop online courses and programs, and to provide course websites for face to face courses. CIT is also responsible for the Online Learning (PLATO: People Learning and Teaching Online) at WSU. The Center supports faculty and students with their classes, whether enhanced face to face, blended and or online.  CIT trains faculty to migrate their face to face courses to the online course format and works to develop degrees, programs, minors and courses.

The Center for Instructional Technology also provides confidential consultation to all faculty and staff for the purpose of learning, managing and integrating existing and new technologies into their teaching and work.

The CIT houses a variety of instructional and technological tools for both PC and MAC users. The Center meets with faculty and staff in a one-on-one setting, offers group instruction and workshops, and self-paced tutorials on technology and web 2.0 tools. 

The CIT will not instruct faculty how to teach, but will help them manage and incorporate technology into the classroom to enhance the learning experience.
