Case Study: London College of Communication achieves digital publishing momentum with QuarkXPress (Quark)

London College of Communication Drives Digital Publishing Momentum among Students with Quarkxpress

The London College of Communication, part of University of the Arts London, updated its one‑year MA Publishing curriculum to address the growing need for digital, interactive publishing skills among a diverse cohort of about 45 international students. The challenge was to teach practical, cross‑platform production and business implications of digital publishing—without requiring students to learn complex coding or costly app development workflows.

LCC adopted QuarkXPress and its App Studio, enabling students to produce working digital prototypes and finished iPad apps quickly and affordably. Most students used the tool for their assignments—one graduate produced a professional interactive app after just two weeks of training and went on to found a transmedia publishing business—demonstrating improved industry readiness and practical digital publishing outcomes, supported by Quark’s education pricing.
