University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases Special Edition of Phoenix Scholar™ Academic Periodical on Assessment Topics

The issue explores and celebrates the efforts of University of Phoenix in its approach to assessment and skills-aligned curriculum at the intersection of higher education and careers

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a special edition of its quarterly Phoenix Scholar™ academic research periodical. The periodical, launched in 2017, highlights the commitment of University of Phoenix faculty, students and alumni to leading research through evidence-based practice. The special edition focuses on assessment in higher education and contributing authors from across the University Colleges and departments explore traditional mechanisms of assessment of learning and how the University’s focus on skills-aligned curriculum is validated in meeting working adult learner needs.

“As higher education continues to coalesce at this intersection of education and careers, authentic assessment and skills-aligned curriculum at the University of Phoenix cultivates learners who simultaneously demonstrate the comportment indicative of engagement in higher education and in their respective industries,” shares Eve Krahe Billings, Ph.D., dean, Academic Innovation & Evaluation at University of Phoenix and guest editor of the issue. “It’s exciting to lead this edition and be able to bring together this work into a dedicated space for academic consumption.”
