In the United States, higher education institutions assess the impact of program- level educational experiences through the process of program-level student learning outcomes assessment. The final step of the assessment cycle is to use assessment interpretations to make changes to educational programming. Nevertheless, few programs can demonstrate…

Measures of socioeconomic status (SES) are widely used in educational research and policy applications, in large part due to overwhelming evidence linking SES to student achievement. SES is usually conceptualized as an unobservable factor--a construct--measured using variables such as parental education, occupation, income/wealth, and home…

Phishing has become a preferred method among cyber criminals looking to gain access to confidential information. Although most businesses and governmental organizations provide employees with some sort of cyber security training, there is a lack of research examining whether such training methods work to actually reduce susceptibility to…
