Adobe: Empowering Creativity and Digital Literacy in Education
Blog|by Leanne Bevan|28 February 2024
In today's visually-driven world, digital literacy skills are more important than ever. Schools, colleges, and universities play a crucial role in equipping students with the tools they need to communicate, express themselves, and succeed in a workforce that increasingly depends on technology and creativity. That's where Adobe comes in. With its powerful suite of creative software, Adobe provides educators and students with transformative tools for learning and innovation.
Why Adobe for Educational Institutions?
Let's take a look at the core reasons why schools and higher education institutions should embrace Adobe:
-
Industry-standard Tools: Adobe Creative Cloud provides students with access to the same software that professionals across countless industries use. Learning these tools translates into real-world skills and a smoother transition into the workforce.
-
Cultivating Creativity: Adobe apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and more unleash student creativity. These programmes spark imagination and allow for the creation of stunning visuals, compelling presentations, engaging videos, and dynamic media projects.
-
Digital Fluency and Critical Thinking: Adobe tools go beyond creating beautiful content. They promote collaboration, problem-solving, and the ability to analyse and present information effectively—crucial skills for the modern learner.
-
Preparation for the Future of Work: As technology continues to reshape workplace dynamics, proficiency in design software and digital communication becomes invaluable. Adobe gives students a head start in mastering these essential competencies. From marketing and graphic design to video editing and illustration - there are several job roles that students can get with the help of these skills.
Adobe Licensing Made Easy for Education
Adobe offers tailored licensing models that cater to the specific needs and budgets of educational institutions:
-
Shared Device Licences: Ideal for labs and classrooms where the software is installed on shared computers.
-
Named-User Licences: These are tied to individual users, whether students, faculty, or staff, providing access across different devices.
-
Education Enterprise Agreement (EEA): This offers large institutions a customised, cost-effective, and flexible solution for managing licences.
-
Adobe Express: Schools also have access to the versatile Adobe Express platform for easy creation of graphics, web pages, and short videos. This is often included in educational licensing packages or is available with separate educational discounts.
Choosing the Right Adobe Licensing
The best licensing model for your institution depends on factors like the number of users, how the software will be used (individually vs. in shared settings), and the types of Adobe products you need. As an Adobe reseller, Grey Matter can guide you through the different options and help you find the most appropriate solution for your specific needs.
In Conclusion
Integrating Adobe tools into education isn't about just teaching students software skills; rather, it's about empowering them to become innovative thinkers, effective communicators, and future-ready professionals. If your school, college, or university is committed to fostering a culture of digital literacy and preparing students for the demands of the 21st century, Adobe Creative Cloud is an indispensable resource.
