Will you be teaching a 100 or 200 level class in Fall 2019?
Do you want to creatively engage your students?
Are you tired of reading “bad” papers?
Have you ever thought of having your students write with different media like posters, videos, infographics, podcasts, or other multimedia in your classes?
Would you like to experiment with incorporating Adobe Creative Cloud applications into your classes?
Consider working with Shelley Rodrigo (Department of English) and Brian Puente (Office of Digital Learning) to adopt, adapt, and create both learning and assessment assignments for your classes.
The Adobe CLOUD (Creative Literacy Outcomes in Undergraduate Degrees) project aims to support faculty adopting and adapting Adobe Creative Cloud applications across the curriculum in a way that: 1) supports faculty incorporating creative and digital literacies and Adobe applications in a pedagogically sound manner, focusing on general education and/or course student learning outcomes; and 2) prompts students to increase their digital literacies through both low-stakes multimedia-to-learn and high-stakes content assessment assignments.

important, must read details of participation
Faculty participants will attend four, half-day workshops during Summer 2019, learning about various Adobe Creative Cloud applications and starting to revise and/or develop activities and/or assignments. During Fall 2019 faculty participants will implement their Adobe assignment(s). Project facilitators will help support faculty with their implementation process. Project faculty will work with facilitators on the collection of assessment data including:
- faculty interview comparing assignments,
- student submissions from previous assignment/class,
- student submissions to revised assignment/class,
- copies of all assignment prompts, rubrics, support doc, etc. from both previous and revised assignments,
- student consent for participation in research,
- pre-project student survey,
- post-project student survey, and
- post-implementation faculty survey.
During the faculty interview when comparing assignments, the interviewer will work with the faculty member to decide upon assessing student work using a faculty member’s clearly articulated student learning outcomes and grading rubric, or one of the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AACU) Value Rubrics (e.g., Inquiry and analysis, Critical thinking, Creative thinking, Information literacy, Problem solving).
Two $425 stipends will be distributed to faculty participants--one after the summer workshop and a second at the end of the Fall 2019 term, after the faculty participants has implemented their Adobe assignment(s) and helped with assessment data collection.
