Meet Your Professor
Hi! My name is Jill Simpson. I completed my Ph.D. in Instructional Leadership (with an emphasis in Instructional Technology) from the University of Alabama in 2012. Prior to that, I completed a Masters in Business Administration (with an emphasis in Computer Information Systems) from the University of North Alabama in 2004 and a Bachelors of Science in both Business Technology Management and Human Resource Management from the University of North Alabama in 2000.
I have been teaching computer software classes since 2004 and the Foundations of Business MBA course since 2018. Institutions from which I have taught include: The University of North Alabama, Northwest-Shoals Community College, Athens State, and Faulkner University. In my current position of Instructional Technologist for the UNA College of Business, I work directly with College of Business faculty to design quality online courses.
I am certified as a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) in Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. I am also a certified Master Reviewer, Program Reviewer, Peer Reviewer, and Face-to-Face Facilitator for Quality Matters (https://www.qualitymatters.org/ Links to an external site.).
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family and friends. I am married with two sons and one daughter. I also have two adorable cats. When I am able to secure some alone time (which isn't often) I love to read.
Please feel free to contact me any time throughout the course. I'm always happy to assist students.
Jill M. Simpson, Ph.D.
