It might be interesting to use the opportunity to ask:
* how teachers see electronic publishing in arts education context
* can it function a learning tool/incentive, while also serving to communicate the work developed by students and tutors?

* does it have any advantage over web?
* should it exist only as the off line version of a website, or there other reasons for its existence?
* is it an interesting format for publishing?
* where are the difficulties in adopting (electronic) publishing?
