The Publishing Plan is the list of topics to be covered in each digital “issue” of the UWest Faculty Development Website. Between two and four items (articles, tutorials, videos, podcasts, etc.) will be uploaded in relation to each topic. If you (the faculty) would like to contribute an original article or link to existing content regarding any of the planned topics, please contact the editor via email (Monica.Sanford@my.uwest.edu). This is your website committed to your development as faculty! We want to encourage involvement in any way possible. Thank you!
