Learning Resources Editorial
The Learning Resources Editorial team is the college textbook publishing group at UAGC. Staffed by experienced editors and eLearning professionals, the Editorial team develops content for interactive, award-winning eTextbooks, supplemental materials, and courseware. We partner with faculty to identify student needs and guide subject-matter experts through the authoring and peer review process.
Caring for students through content means meeting students where they are, focusing on their learning, and empowering them toward future success. Learning materials should be readable, relevant, and inclusive—and also rigorous, thought-provoking, and aspirational. We believe that high-quality, effective, customized content is a powerful tool that can help create an inspiring, supportive environment for students and faculty alike.
