CITT started in 1998 as a grant-funded group named the Technology and Learning Team (TLT). Scott Grabinger, Director of TLT and CITT from 1998 - 2004, coordinated the group that helped University of Colorado Denver (UCD) faculty learn to integrate technology in their instruction. The TLT group conducted workshops, consulted with faculty and departments, managed a faculty technology studio, and created web- and other technology-based applications. Somewhere in this time frame, TLT changed its name to Center for Innovations in Training Technology (CITT).
In 2004, CITT shifted from a grant-funded model to become a fee-for-service cost center for UCD under the department of Academic Technology & Extended Learning (ATEL). Marty Tessmer served as the Director of CITT from 2004 to 2009. Under Marty’s leadership, CITT developed over 54 online courses for the University of Colorado System, 24 websites, and 6 web applications. From January 2010 through April 2011, Glenda Crawford managed CITT as Project Manager.
In April 2011, Jeremy Warren became the Manager of CITT. CITT continues to design and develop innovative and user-friendly websites, custom web applications, and online courses for UCD clients and external university clients.
