Hi Everyone,
Let me begin by saying thank you to all of the regular and occasional readers of this blog. The CITE turns 4 this week, and in the past 4 years we have had 1240 posts, and more than 73,000 visitors from 175 different countries. We received recogition as being among the top textbook blogs, and I have appreciated the many kind emails and comments people have shared with me about how they enjoy reading The CITE.
When the blog began, there was little news and discussion out there about the future of course materials. Now that discussion appears to be everywhere, and new informational items come out a few times a day. It is hard for anyone to deny that that the transition is underway.
As the volume of activity increases, I have found it increasingly dificult to keep up with blog posts on a regular basis. Thus, I have decided that it is time to "pass the torch" and step down from managing The CITE.
Within the near future the NACS publication team will take over as owners of the CITE. They have an excellent staff of writers and they follow developments in this space quite effectively. They will ensure that The CITE remains a useful resource for folks looking to understand or have awareness of the latest course material and retail technology innovations. I am sure the blog will continue to be as good -- and most likely even better -- under their ownership.
It has been a great four years and I hope this resource has been valuable to many of you. Thank you again for your continued readership.
Keep innovating!
Mark
