Jen Scully holds an M.Ed. in Adult Learning & Development from PSU, B.S. in Communication Disorders from UNH, and webmaster certification from Clark University. She has worked in Information Technology for about 13 years, with the majority of her experience in user training & support, technical writing, and online content development. For the last 8 years she has worked in IT at UNH. Jen teaches face-to-face and online sessions of Software Tools for GSC.

One of Jen’s primary interests is exploring technology that enhances learning and personal productivity. So, lately she’s had a lot of fun playing with speech recognition software on Windows Vista. She is also learning to create videos with Adobe Captivate that walk through features of software programs for users online.

Nine of her graduate courses were in a hybrid or online format, so Jen has been on the other side of the “digital fence”. “While taking graduate courses I worked full time and was co-raising a toddler, so I certainly relate to challenges many non-traditional learners face,” she says. She finds the most rewarding part of teaching adults is helping them learn techniques that make them more efficient or effective – whether in schoolwork, career, or home life.

She lives on the seacoast of NH with her husband Kevin and their young daughter. When not at a computer, she likes to sing and play piano, knit, take walks, and listen to a variety of podcasts.
