SSD19: Experiences and Feedback on Integrating Adobe Creative Suite into our Courses
Hours: 1.25
ACC is on the cutting edge as the first community college in the nation to be designated as an Adobe Creative Campus. While the designation is new for ACC, other universities around the country have been successful in integrating Adobe products into their courses, regardless of the discipline. This session will showcase some of the ways Adobe can be integrated into courses at ACC, as well as the feedback received from instructors and students on their experiences.
A.J. Wood and Jason Katsoff are from Adobe. A.J. Wood is a Sr Solutions Consultant where he actively works with enterprise customers demonstrating the value of Adobe solutions. He has been ranked the #1 Adobe Instructor WORLDWIDE more than once. He is best known for his educational YouTube series, “I Create Content.”
Jason is a Sr Customer Success Manager, working with a select group of leading institutions of higher education. His focus is on student and graduate success and excellence in teaching.
Prior to joining Adobe, Jason was an art & design educator for over 15 years. His teaching philosophy is rooted in learner-centered and project-based education. At The Art Institutes, he served as the Dean of Academic Affairs as well as Department Chair of six degree programs at the San Diego campus. As the Dean, he immersed himself in topics related to accreditation renewal, institutional effectiveness, and measuring student and graduate success.
His industry experience spans twenty years as a Digital Content Creator in advertising, broadcast design, and game development. His client list includes Microsoft, Disney Imagineering, Nintendo, Capcom, Time Warner, ABC, NBC, Fox, Qualcomm, and others. He sees the next decade in education as an exciting and formative one. Tools and techniques historically thought to be owned by ‘creative types’ will be embraced by all learners. Jason envisions creative problem solvers and well-equipped communicators graduating from our high schools and colleges across the country. |
