=== Can publishing be a research tool? And a teaching tool that can facilitate the students learning process? ===

- The exposure aspect of publishing could help to establish an urgency for projects. Sometimes create this urgency by inviting &quot;real&quot; clients. This &quot;reality&quot; aspect is often very fruitful but I think the urgency should not be introduced as exclusive for commercial projects. Students have to understand that all projects they do are potentially publishable and need sincere consideration and a responsible attitude. Especially for more theoretical classes a parallel publishing activity could help students to take a position, contextualize theory and engage in disucssion.<br />
- Publishing can definitely be a research tool and of course a great archival system. Digital publishing makes it very accesible for students and teachers to communicate amongs each other. <br />
- It can help distributing information of research happening now, and provide for a tool to gather new information<br />
- I guess so, although the more interactive forms of publishing seem to be more useful as a tool. In a way there are many possible ways to gather information through publishing or maybe it is (depending on what you consider „publishing”) very difficult to do research without. For now I think it is at least an extremely good example to show students that they are not necessarily bound to a fixed technical procedure (for instance the usage of Indesign) but there are actual possibilities to invent a different process.<br />
