Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Adobe Creative Campus Collaboration event?

We think of it as a twice yearly 'festival of Pedagogical Inspiration' where like minded colleagues come to share, learn, discuss and wrestle with some of the biggest opportunities and challanges we face in teaching and learning.

You can learn more about the event by watching the video below, that captures the essence of our inogural event at Teesside University earlier this year.

Who can attend?

The event has been designed specifically for collegues in institutions either in the UK or Europe who have a role in developing or delivering teaching and learning. This could be as a strategic leader responsible for pedagogy or curriculum design, a member of faculty or a key partner within a teaching support of innovation team - such as digital learning, library services etc.

If you are unsure if the event would be suitable for you please do get in touch with us and we can discuss with you.

What is the cost?

This event is free to attend. You simply need to cover your travel and accommodation costs and then we will take care of you.

I attended the previous event, will the agenda be different?

Yes! - we see these collaboration events as a series and community building. As such the agenda has been designed in collaboration with the community and with Bath Spa to very much compliment our previous event.
