I have conceived, developed and run two Adobe Creative Campuses from the ground up. Here are some tips and a lot of resources to help you on your journey.

Developing and implementing an Adobe Creative Campus is a major institutional a change.

My approaches have needed to work university-wide. To support that process I've ensured my programs include the below ideas.

  • Interdisciplinary and disciplinary agnostic
  • scalable and adaptable
  • respecting unique cultural and disciplinary contexts
  • include good communication and engagement
  • building a shared vision and empowering teams to evolve

Some considerations

Tips for future Faculty starting on their Adobe Creative Campus journey

  • Engaging Stakeholders: How will you involve teachers, students, and other stakeholders in education changes? Engaging diverse voices ensures inclusivity and leads to more accepted outcomes.
  • Cultural Context: How might cultural factors influence new teaching methodologies? Understanding cultural nuances tailors approaches to resonate with the institution's environment.
  • Communication Strategies: What tactics will you use to explain the need and benefits of educational change? Effective communication aligns everyone with the vision and reduces resistance.
  • Collaborative Environments: How will you foster collaboration among educators, students and other university stakeholders? Encouraging cross-departmental collaboration enhances creativity and innovation. Ensure you include professional staff in this mix – they are often the people who shift change systemically.
  • Scalability: Is your educational change adaptable across different learning environments or difference disciplines? Ensuring adaptability increases applicability and success.
  • Technological Integration: How will existing technology support educational changes? Leveraging current systems can enhance the process's efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Sustainability Considerations: Are you considering environmental and sustainability factors in educational strategies? This ensures that changes are innovative and responsible and support all types of learners.
  • Mindset Shift: How will you encourage a mindset shift among educators and students? Promoting a learning culture and providing training supports adaptation to new methodologies
  • Feedback Mechanisms: What systems will you implement to gather feedback on teaching changes? Continuous feedback allows for adjustments and improvements, enhancing success.
  • Measuring Impact: How will you assess the impact and success of educational changes? Establishing metrics and evaluation criteria tracks progress and highlights benefits.
