Faculty Profiles

Dr. Shaun Scott has taught Computer Science at the undergraduate level for nearly 25 years and Education courses (specifically Educational Technology, Instructional Technology, and Learning Design) at the Graduate level since 2007. Prior to teaching Dr. Scott earned an A.S. in Information Processing and a B.S. in Business. These degrees lead to 11 years working in the Information Technology field, first in IT Management, then as a Network Manager and finally a Systems Analyst. After Dr. Scott started teaching Computer Science, he continued his education with a Masters then a Doctoral degree in Education where his emphasis was in Instructional Technology. Since Dr. Scott was part of a university transition from a traditional scheduling model to a One-Class-at-a-time model (Experience 1 or X1) his research centered around how students performed academically in various scheduling formats (ie. X1 vs. more traditional models). Dr. Scott has published several articles including “Computers and Humankind” and “Cyberculture”, both for the Encyclopedia of Anthropology (Sage). Dr. Scott is active in his community and has coached youth soccer and served as a Trustee on the local School Board between 2009 and 2023, three of the 14 years as Board Chair.
