Hello from the great state of Utah. My name is Scott Karren, and I started this blog as a requirement of a course in the Masters of Science in Education in Learning Design and Technology program I am currently enrolled in. My goal is to expand on that requirement and add posts of interest to me and hopefully to you.
Talking a little more about my background, I am currently an Instructional Designer for a Real Estate Financial Tech company. I have been working at this company for just over 10 years. Before that, I worked in Healthcare, Mental Health, Software, and Internet Technologies. I have been in Training Development and ID for over 25 years.
Education-wise, as I said above, I am currently enrolled in a Master’s Program through Purdue University (go Boilermakers). I also have a Bachelor of Science in Business Information Technology and Education with an emphasis in Corporate Training and Development and a minor in Marketing Education from Utah State University (go Aggies).
Personally, I have been married for 28 years to a wonderful woman and have been blessed with five children. No pets currently, but my children are trying. When I am not in school or work, I try to spend as much time with my family as I can. We love to hike, explore, play disc golf, paddleboard, and just about anything that requires us to be outside.
I look forward to taking this journey with you and learning together. Drop me a line, and let’s start a conversation.
Scott
