Closing the Big Divide - Covid-19, Adobe Creative Cloud, and New Curriculum Development : Tools for Writing and Critical Thinking

Abstract

Adobe Spark has become a staple in my own writing pedagogy. As we continue to march forward in the quest for our online educational experiences that challenge students and set them up for a digitally-savvy workforce, the need for digital skills is obvious. The campus community is ready to realize, especially after Covid-19, the need for a digital curriculum. COVID has allowed education to shrink the digital divide and Adobe is on the forefront of that movement. Adobe provides the tools to personalize the educational experience, gain instant access to skills like synthesizing information into visual formats and building relationships with other students, helping them become workplace-ready. In a blended learning environment, Adobe Creative Cloud tools can increase students engagement and help them own their education during, and long after, the Covid-19 crisis. Adobe Creative Cloud products can help educators–and students– find innovative ways to have a voice in the digital age.
