Scott Kimball has worked in instructional design and technology in higher education for over 25 years. His degree in Broadcasting led to working in TV and Film Production before making a move to Instructional Television in the 1990’s with The University of Maine System. When online learning began its rise to prominence in the early 2000’s, Scott joined the Sloan-C Consortium (now the Online Learning Consortium), the New Century Learning Consortium, and Quality Matters to network with other institutions and earn certificates in the then nascent technologies and pedagogies for online instruction. He is a Quality Matters Certified Online Course Reviewer, and holds additional certifications from Quality Matters in Constructing Learning Objectives, as well as Online Accessibility.
