The Spring 2024 issue explores AI impact on education, research and more

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released the Spring 2024 edition of its 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 Spring 2024 Phoenix Scholar issue explores the multifaceted impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education, research, and beyond, offering perspectives on AI's potential to enhance teaching methodologies, streamline classroom processes, and the possibility to catalyze groundbreaking research endeavors.
