              Publication
            
            
              Finally the course is ready for
            
            
              students to use! But publication
            
            
              isn’t the end of the process:
            
            
              authors and specialized teacher
            
            
              trainers travel across Spain
            
            
              helping teachers to get the best
            
            
              from their course, answering
            
            
              questions, giving advice and
            
            
              listening to comments. The
            
            
              feedback they gather will help
            
            
              to provide the basis for the next
            
            
              coursebook!

              Once the development process
            
            
              is completed and all reviews and
            
            
              corrections have been made the files
            
            
              are sent to the printer for printing and
            
            
              binding. They are also used as a source
            
            
              for digital conversion to e-books. When
            
            
              the books are finished they are shipped
            
            
              to the warehouse and are finally ready
            
            
              for distribution.

              The manuscript is edited and designed
            
            
              to see how things will look on the page,
            
            
              and photography and artwork research
            
            
              is conducted in order to provide the
            
            
              most appropriate images. As the process
            
            
              progresses the pages go through a
            
            
              systematic review that includes several
            
            
              rounds of checking.
            
            
              As the design evolves, content is checked
            
            
              to see how it works on the page, how
            
            
              it can help students find their way
            
            
              around, and how it can engage their
            
            
              interest. At this stage we invite teachers
            
            
              to try the materials while they are still
            
            
              in development, in order to incorporate
            
            
              their feedback and ensure that they will
            
            
              function in the classroom.
            
            
              In the meantime, audio and video
            
            
              content is recorded, edited and checked
            
            
              for clarity and consistency. When all
            
            
              of the course materials are complete
            
            
              (audio, video, illustrations, photos ...)
            
            
              the whole range of course components is
            
            
              prepared. This includes Student’s Books,
            
            
              Workbooks, Teacher’s Books, classroom
            
            
              materials, interactive whiteboard tools
            
            
              and much more. At the same time digital
            
            
              books and Apps are developed, using
            
            
              the same original material transformed
            
            
              for digital media and adapted so that it
            
            
              will work interactively.
