Anna Yonas and Stephen Jackson of the University of Kansas have published a study in which they analyzed popular online educational resources for social studies teachers. They found the materials often presented imperialism in a positive light, rarely considered primary sources from people who were colonized and also used a "balance sheet" approach, in which they put students in inappropriate conversations. There were positive aspects as well, and the researchers argue better understanding the materials can help ensure better resources are available for teachers, schools and students.

University of Phoenix scholars have published new peer-reviewed research examining how non-traditional undergraduate students use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in online higher education. The study found that more frequent GenAI use was significantly associated with higher academic performance and stronger confidence in technology skills, while lower confidence in reading, writing and math and greater time demands from work, study or family responsibilities did not significantly predict use. The article, “Strategic Integration or Skill Compensation? Understanding GenAI Use in Online Higher Education,” was published June 30, 2026, in Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2(1), 205–223. The research was conducted by fellows and scholars affiliated with the University’s Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR): Jessica Sylvester, EdD; Melinda Kulick, EdD; Leonidas Maganares, EdD; and Stella Smith, PhD, associate university research chair.
