ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL
PUBLISHING AWARDS
In partnership with our authors, we have an incredibly important role to play in ensuring the quality of education in Australia. I hope you will agree that, step by step, the Australian Publishers Association (APA) is helping to increase the recognition of our value amongst the educational community, and that you support our ongoing efforts to raise the profile of educational publishing.
The EPAAs is one way we are doing this (while also giving you the opportunity to celebrate your successes), and our work on copyright is another.
The inaugural Educational Publishing Awards Australia (EPAAs) were in 1994, led by Professor Mike Horsley to whom we pay tribute this year, our 25th anniversary. Horsley’s vision was to promote and celebrate research, innovation and excellence in Australian educational publishing. He believed that Australian learning resources are a critical feature of the education landscape and a key influencer of student learning outcomes, and that the Awards have developed a benchmark of standards for the industry.
This year, the judging panel for the EPAAs was again very ably led by Chief Judge Angela Carbone, Associate Dean, Learning Innovation, at Swinburne University. Thank you, Angela, for your expertise and guidance. And thank you to this year’s publishing and educator judges for contributing your time and expertise – we know just how much effort you have put into reviewing each entry to choose the ultimate winners across all sectors: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.
Lee WalkerPresident, Australian Publishers Association
We all know the value we create is not just for our work and our businesses, but is ultimately for the Australian education community.

THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION
The Australian Publishers Association (APA) is the leading national body responsible for representing the Australian publishing industry and for promoting the importance of the published word to the educational, social, cultural and intellectual life of Australia.
An advocate, collaborator, advisor and educator, the APA acts on behalf of publishing businesses: big and small, commercial and non-profit, popular and academic, large multinational and local independent.
The APA is governed by a board of directors and six sectional committees that cover the different sectors of the industry:
• Schools Educational Publishers• Tertiary and Professional Publishers• Scholarly and Journal Publishers• Trade Publishers• Children’s Publishers• and Independent Publishers.
We believe that across the industry, publishers play a central role in the life of the country, serving the cultural, entertainment and educational needs of Australians.
The APA established and maintains the Australian industry’s online lookup service, Title Page, used by over 3000 booksellers and libraries to obtain free access to current price, availability and stock information that is updated daily by publishers.
The APA has a responsibility to promote a better understanding of the publishing industry and the interests of our members within the wider community and especially in the context of policy formulation.
As part of our advocacy work, which seeks to improve the regulatory environment our members work in, we:
• continually nurture high-level relationships with members of both state and federal governments and other relevant non-government bodies;
• prepare researched submissions for public consultations; and• attend critical stakeholder meetings and appear before inquiries
on a regular basis.
Our policy agenda includes accessibility, the arts, education, copyright and intellectual property, censorship and publishing freedoms, the digital economy and trade, and competition and taxation.
Members of the APA enjoy the opportunity to participate in a peak industry body with the capacity to advocate strongly and effectively on their behalf. Additional benefits are an extensive range of services and opportunities designed to assist with skills development, supply chain solutions, local and international marketing opportunities, and business networks.

FUTURE-PROOFING WITH DIACRITECH
Smarter conversion strategies and delivery mechanisms, intelligent workflow automations and tools, and tactical solutions to production challenges: these are the top essentials to address the growth prospects, changes, and latest trends in the global content publishing market, which is witnessing huge transformations.
As the publishing landscape has evolved, so have we at diacriTech (a leading Publishing Solutions provider for Content Transformation and Digital Content Services – specialising in the Education, Scientific, Technical, and Medical [STM], and Trade industry) through developing effective niche content strategies. Read on to understand how we operate in the hybrid world of print and digital by balancing technology and knowledge perspectives: to serve the top segment of the largest publishing groups worldwide.
Future-proofing is imperative to the digital disruption caused by mobiles. It is no surprise that mobile is the fastest growing media platform in today’s increasingly connected world of disruptive technologies and digital-savvy consumers. What is important to keep in mind is the larger opportunity available for capitalising the demand for high-value communication.
At diacriTech, we help publishers do just that: succeed in the move beyond print to digital, and also sustain longer term future growth by handling everything from simple eBooks that are identical to their printed counterparts to eBooks that are apps in their own right using Augmented/Virtual Reality technologies. As consumer demands drive changes in publishing formats, our digital strategy ensures that the needs of publishers are met across all channels, geographies, and even the type of device used—ranging from laptops to smartphones and portable tablets.
Integrating day-to-day editorial workflow activities using a standardised approach is critical to improving productivity and simplifying business processes. At diacriTech, our cloud- based proprietary enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, Functional Management System (FMS) has been especially effective in streamlining production tasks and ensuring workflow adherence by linking all the stages and resources involved in a completely digital process. It provides customers with real-time status information for all the projects in production.
X-Edit Pro: Next-level workflow managementX-Edit Pro—an entire digital publishing suite offering a collaborative environment for all stakeholders from editorial, production, authors and issue managers to work together seamlessly. A book and journal production workflow management system that is flexible yet controlled by the publisher to push content quicker to market. It is cloud based, supports both XML and HTML, and enables authoring to be integrated into the production workflow to ensure high-quality structured content right from the source, increased workflow efficiency, improved content consistency, and reduced version control errors. It delivers final files in multiple output formats. Leading publishers globally have taken up this new platform as it solves a lot of their challenges.
A message from our sponsor.
2018 Educational Publishing Awards Australia 21
True automationAutomation is the silver bullet to enhance the publishing workflow. Our true XML- first workflow InXML tool is capable of automating a majority of layout tasks related to pagination while leveraging Adobe InDesign’s capabilities for document composition. Better yet, the platform is agnostic to document type definition (DTD) and schema, and can use any client-specified mark-up language. It also supports simultaneous delivery of print, online, and EPUB files. This tool takes care of the many challenges accompanying complex style elements, an attribute common to design-oriented school texts with layouts built around pedagogical methodology. It eventually helps to alleviate a potentially higher workload incurred in the latter stages of production.
The best content or learning management system for publishers does not stop with the creation and management of content assets. Modularity, flexibility, customisation, and the ability to refresh and reuse content from existing publications to meet the evolving needs of publishing deliver a host of advantages. This is what we offer besides content hosting, creation, authoring and accuracy checking, digital assets and rights management, content population/migration services for collaborative learning platforms, traditional LMS, or simply digital content hubs that share quality information and provide more relevant content experience in a number of ways.
New technologies mean new opportunities in creating a reality for the future of eLearning. Education in an augmented or virtual reality world is not just another fad. It is a revolutionary concept that brings untapped possibilities to teaching and learning with its advanced visualization and immersive capabilities. Many books and magazines have taken the reading engagement to the next level by creating a virtual animation of their pictures using the growing phenomenon of Augmented Reality. This not only increases the audience engagement, but also it adds a new dimension to the publisher’s revenue generation strategies. Taking this into account, we have developed significant expertise in devising Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality solutions that offer immersive and realistic educational experiences. In addition, for publishers who are keen to create truly next-generation digital content, we provide the way forward. We help them to take full advantage of HTML5 digital capabilities starting from content development to interactive eBook creation services, including Flash to HTML5 transition.
Over the years we have come a long way on our digital publishing journey, providing solutions to production challenges, shaping digital workflows, and crafting immersive experiences in the educational space. We, with our customers’ support, hope to continue this journey delivering more and better content of the highest quality across digital and print platforms that stand testimony to outstanding educational value. We look forward to more opportunities to serve our existing and new customers.

25 YEARS OF THE EPAAS
Over these 25 years of the Educational Publishing Awards, more than 430 titles have been awarded as indicators of excellence in the field of educational publishing.
It is the hard-working teaching community who are the baton bearers of the learning resources Australia produces, who graciously inform their development and make alive their content in the classroom. The educational publishing community salutes all teachers for their role in the lifecycle of a publication.
I’d like to say thank you to all who are involved in the educational publishing sector and a special thanks to those whose efforts have made this event possible to celebrate the sector. On behalf of the APA I extend my thanks to the committee, judges, volunteers and sponsors who have brought the awards to us all again this year.
We invite you to visit the website and follow the social media accounts to stay up to date with more educational publishing activity across the year.
