Changes Afoot

This website is currently being reorganized. Please bare with us.

pICT has been actively working towards institutionalizing its efforts since 2005. This took shape in 2007 with the formation of the San Diego State Course Design Institute, where you'll find our conversations, events and resources. This is a dymanic site with blogs, our YouTube and Slideshare channels. The Institute also has a Facebook group open to anyone.

Our Mission

pICT – People, Information and Communication Technologies is supported by San Diego State University's Qualcomm Institute for Innovation and Educational Success and housed in the Division of Undergraduate Studies. Our goal is to develop SDSU's undergraduates' 21st century skills, knowledge and dispositions. We do that by designing programs and initiatives that develop our faculty’s capacity to integrate principles of learning, digital know-how and 21st century key competencies in undergraduate general education courses and across the undergraduate curriculum. We work in concert with the Center for Teaching and Learning, Instructional Technology Services, the College of Education and the Library.
