This Summer 2011 (IX, 3) issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge entitled "Teaching Transformations 2011"-a fourth of its annual "Teaching Transformations" series-brings together selected proceedings of the joint CIT (Center for Innovative Teaching)/EdTech (Educational Technology) conference held on May 12, 2011, at UMass Boston. The editors' note describes the reasons for the bringing together of the two separately organized conferences in the past.
