Greetings, Education and Training SIG members!

We hope everyone's 2025 has started well.

The INSciTS Board have kindly extended the services of the external administration team to help our SIG. We are very grateful for this talented team who will be sending SIG announcements, meeting reminders, and calendar invites going forward. The Admin team and the Co-chairs will be working together to transition calendar invites to the Admin team. Be on the lookout for cancellations and new meeting invites over the next couple of months as we make this transition.

Welcome to those joining us for the first time! Below is some information to acquaint you to our SIG.

1. To nurture college students' professional development by enhancing their creativity while working in virtual teams, and;
2. To provide faculty with relevant knowledge, expertise, and case examples to assist them in designing and implementing effective virtual team learning experiences in their courses.
