Just as it does in the workplace, technology plays an instrumental role in today’s higher education. At University of Phoenix, technology is interwoven into every aspect of our degree programs—for local campus students as well as those attending online—in order to maximize access, in the service of learning and for greater efficiency. Through University of Phoenix, students can tap into the leading edge of educational technology anywhere they have an Internet connection, day or night.
The nerve center of the student experience is comprised of the aXcess and rEsource online portals.
Depending on the program you select, one of these portals will serve as your source for class assignments and the electronic learning tools to complete them. These include:
- eBook Collection: Hundreds of electronic textbooks are available to all students at any time. In many classes, selected readings are compiled from a variety of textbooks so that students get the best of the best.
- Virtual Organizations: Internet and intranet sites for simulated, composite organizations replicating real-life problems. Allow students to research and study company and organizational records that would normally be off limits due to privacy restrictions.
- Simulations: Sophisticated electronic demonstrations enable students to explore and manipulate information in order to test hypotheses and assess results in a controlled environment.
- Center for Writing Excellence: Includes the WritePointSM automated review system for academic writing, Plagiarism Checker, Tutor Reviews (conducted by faculty members and other experts), and a number of web-based tutorials.
- Center for Mathematics Excellence: Synchronous labs with drop-in setting, open eight hours daily, seven days a week. Designed to explain and teach concepts rather than serve as an assignment assistance tool.
- University Library: Comprehensive electronic array of scholarly and professional research material, thereby providing a digitally-updated and remotely accessible version of the academic library geared specifically for the University’s students. A full-time team of professional librarians and research specialists oversees the online collection and is available to assist students with their academic research.
