The Phoenix Scholar™ is accepting submissions for its summer 2023 edition: Assessment and Institutional Research Innovations in Higher Education. We are interested in contributions that explore both academic and operational perspectives. How do academic teams measure student learning and how do these insights inform curriculum design, faculty development, and instructional design? What do student services teams consider when measuring success related to co-curricular initiatives? We welcome manuscripts focusing on emerging and established best practice in assessment at the programmatic and institutional levels, as well as across academic affairs, student services, and business units.
The following types of manuscripts are acceptable:
- Reports of innovative and/or exemplary practice in student learning assessment.
- Articles discussing matters of concern to college administrators regarding assessment.
- Critical reviews of significant literature, materials, and strategies related to assessment.
- Summaries of research on assessment and institutional research translated into practical application.
Submissions from all faculty, staff, students, and alumni are encouraged. Phoenix Scholar publication is counted toward fulfilling the requirement for UOPX faculty scholarly activities.
Deadline: The editorial deadline for consideration is July 7th, 2023. The final publication date is August 15, 2023 (Summer Edition). Submit your manuscript by C.O.B. (Close of Business) Friday, July 7th, 2023. Submission does not guarantee acceptance and all rejected articles will be notified at the time of publication in August 2023. All materials must be submitted at the SAME time. Piecemeal submissions will NOT be accepted.
