摘要：Increasingly, changes in the policies of university, government and professional bodies demand that subject and course design are role or outcome driven with articulated graduate attributes. This has had an immediate impact on both the academics designing subjects and the publishers responding to their needs with customized resources or “custom publishing”.
This is particularly the case for higher education where students may be using the same resources in a range of learning and teaching spaces, interacting with varied resource delivery modes, across geographical boundaries and within differing cultural environments. Clearly, the envi-ronment is becoming more complex for academics. How do we provide appropriate resources for students with diverse learning needs and styles, across learning spaces and geographical bounda-ries?
This paper presents various academic perspectives of custom publishing and curriculum construc-tion. The academic perspectives are drawn from a case study of the development of a custom text by one of the authors, supplemented by consideration of a qualitative survey of a number of aca-demics with custom publishing experience.
