Four award-winning college instructors from across the curriculum share innovative assignments that they designed to develop the “essential skills” and “student learning outcomes” that were the focus of the February Adobe Creative Campus Digital Literacy Café.

Each case study includes the principles, goals, and contexts of each assignment, including lesson plans, materials, assessment strategies, and a reflection on the results.

The February episode of the Adobe Creative Campus Digital Literacy Café brings into focus the “essential skills” and “student learning outcomes” that educators are increasingly looking to integrate into their coursework across the entire curriculum through digital storytelling as supported by generative AI.

Most of the conversation about Generative AI in Higher Education has so far focused on text, Large-Language Models, and academic integrity, for obvious reasons.

In the November Digital Literacy Café, we aim to broaden and deepen the conversation by looking closely at Generative AI image creation in terms of the visual arts and communication.

Our panel of expert faculty in graphic design, visual communication, photography, and illustration will share their perspectives on best practices for curricular integration, implications for the future of creative professions, and the future of creativity in general.

Wednesday, September 27, 2023

The September Adobe Digital Literacy Café brings together thought leaders who direct centers for teaching and learning, and each will share a collection of lesson plans that have successfully integrated Generative AI into the curriculum on their campuses.

Our conversation will highlight best practices from across the disciplines, and we aim to provide resources that can be easily used by any instructor in any higher education context.

Wednesday, August 23, 2023

In this 2023 Back-to-School episode, each of our invited speakers has spent the last few months as a curricular leader working to help their campus prepare Generative AI policies, statements, and best practices for the upcoming fall term.

Each will share the history of the development of these statements, the consensus that they have built so far, as well as what they anticipate right around the corner.

We will compare different forward-thinking responses to AI, including especially authentic assessment and project-based learning.

We hope you will join what promises to be our most engaging Adobe Digital Literacy Café ever! Each of the inspiring guests share their experiences using transformative digital pedagogies to address deep-seated, “wicked problems” such as racism, climate change, and social justice. 

The premise, which is supported by abundant research on experiential learning, is that when students are asked to creatively share stories that matter, concerns about authenticity and integrity take care of themselves. In the words of one of Professor Eddie Webb’s students: “It’s too fun to cheat!”

Assessing student work with confidence and clarity can be a complex challenge, especially as new, digital tools seem to emerge suddenly on our campuses — and none may be more challenging than GenTech technologies such as ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly.

Instructors who are new to assigning and assessing digital student compositions can range in approaches from “the rubric remains the same” to “I’m not qualified to grade a podcast or website.” 

Join Todd Taylor and Justin Hodgson as they reflect on decades of research and experience in assessing digital work against the backdrop of the more recent arrival of AI bots in student academic writing spaces.

  • Can previous best practices of digital pedagogies extend into the new technologies?
  • Do we need to rethink assessment strategies dramatically?
  • To what extent will battling bots and detectors occupy center stage in these conversations?
  • Or is it “same as it ever was” when comes to authentic assessment of student work?
