12. “ I know how to operate a book
and if the technology option isn't working –
I’m going to go back to what I know and
what I'm comfortable with.
Also - there are distractions with online
learning as well that make focusing on
homework and studying difficult.
16. “
The web isn’t dead; it’s not
going away; it’s pretty
much the central platform
of human expression
today.
17. “ When we conduct almost
every other aspect of our
lives via the web, what
reason is there to be doing
book publishing away from
it, [and] only engaging the
web to do marketing?
18. Where
do we fit in?
So…what does
this mean for
TEP?
And where have
we come from?

35. New belief:
Digital content is just as
important as print content.
It can no longer be an “after-thought”
and must be given as much consideration
as print.
36. 1. Start with content
2. Define print / digital content
3. Build into book design
(icons)
37. Example:
Why not take
some feature content
(with expiry) online?
(you’ve already paid for the
development of the content)
38. Example:
Why not use web savy
teachers and go digital first for
some content?
(with Drupal – you don’t
need web skills)
