At the 1EdTech Digital Curriculum & App Innovation Summit in November in Baltimore, Maryland, Eve Krahe-Billings, Ph.D., dean of Academic Innovation and Evaluation, Mary Elizabeth Smith, director of Learning Innovation Strategy, and Shelley Hodges, senior director of College Operations, will lead a session on the University’s collaborative work toward university-wide skills-aligned curriculum.
The inaugural Digital Curriculum and App Innovation Summit from 1EdTech aims to highlight exceptional examples of how educational institutions employ technology to make instructors’ work easier while also improving student learning experiences and outcomes.
Krahe-Billings, Smith, and Hodges will lead Curriculum to Careers: Radical Collaboration in Assessment + Analytics + Design. They will discuss the University of Phoenix’s journey toward a university-wide, skills-aligned curriculum, as well as the steps taken to successfully envision, design, and implement a skills-aligned curriculum framework focused on career identification and development across all academic programs at the University.
“Knowing our students and the importance they place on the practicality of education,” says Krahe-Billings, “the University of Phoenix has emerged from a pandemic period with over 85 percent of programs accessible for new enrollment updated, skills-tagged, and ready for use by students.”
As Dean of Academic Innovation and Evaluation, Krahe-Billings is responsible for identifying and vetting emerging trends and current best practices in higher education for use at the university, as well as overseeing all student learning assessments, leading academic and institutional assessment teams, and overseeing the technology systems that ingest and aid in data analysis.
She is on the Board of Directors of the American Association of University Administrators and was formerly on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Humanities Council.
