Adobe Express + Firefly Webinar Series: Driving Student Engagement with Generative AI

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 - 8am PT | 9am MT | 10am CT | 11am ET

After years in learning environments that couldn't accommodate creative, unstructured, exploratory, or even hands-on learning experiences, many of today's college students arrive on campus with a hyper-focus on checklists and grades.

In this session, Indiana University's Professor Justin Hodgson will share how educators can build more meaningful learning experiences — even failure-friendly experiences — that focus on the joy of discovery and integrating digital fluency into the classroom.

You’ll learn:

  • How to shift rote coursework to approaches like “ungrading” that prioritize conversations and the development of skills including creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration
  • How to drive engagement with creative projects that challenge students to show what they know
  • How students can use Adobe Express and Firefly to craft media they’ll be proud to share while becoming critical, ethical, and agile users of AI
