You’re invited – Adobe learning sessions this week!

I am excited to share that there are two sessions this week focused on helping instructors leverage the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products to enhance learning and skills development. All are welcome to attend one or both sessions!

Leveraging Adobe for Digital Learning

Tuesday, Oct. 3 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in Louise Pound Hall (LPH) Room #124 or Zoom

Dr. Justin Hodgson, Associate Professor of Digital Rhetoric at IU Bloomington and Co-Director of the IU Digital Gardener Initiative, will offer insights on integrating digital literacy, digital creativity, and digital learning into the curriculum. He will use examples and practices from his own digital educator journey to frame what is possible, progressing from low-stakes engagements to complex innovative course designs. Dr. Hodgson will also highlight select strategies and approaches from the Digital Gardener Faculty Fellows program, a system-wide faculty development effort focused on upskilling faculty and helping them build better learning experiences through digital engagement. As part of the conversation on faculty development, he will share some of the critical conversations and considerations surrounding Generative AI, including creative approaches and guiding ethics of practice.

Participants who can’t attend in person are welcome to join this session virtually and can register here: https://nebraska.bridgeapp.com/learner/training/b6dd126f/enroll
