As educators in higher education, we have seen a continuing rise in the use of web and other digital technologies to deliver content that engages students. For those of us who had not yet fully integrated emerging technologies into our classrooms, the COVID pandemic has forced the issue. Most courses now include some form of a digital layer to supplement or replace face-to-face instruction. Developing our digital multimedia instructional literacies will help us enhance our students' learning by building a more effective digital layer for our courses.
Adobe offers several tools designed to help educators do this. In these two workshops, faculty at Notre Dame will demonstrate how they use Adobe's Spark Pages and Adobe's Premiere Rush to easily create engaging digital content.
10:30am – noon
Presenter: Randal Sean Harrison, Emerging Technologies Librarian, Hesburgh Libraries
Adobe’s newest video application, Premiere Rush, is amazingly simple to use and surprisingly powerful. It offers instructors a platform for quickly and easily creating professional-looking videos — either from a laptop or any mobile device — which are suitable for online instruction. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at a typical workflow in which an instructor might use Premiere Rush to assemble an instructional video.

1:00pm – 2:30pm
Presenter: Erin McLaughlin, Associate Teaching Professor, University Writing Center
Are you bored with the same text-only assignment prompts? Are you looking for a simple way to combine photos, text, and design in your assignments, without a lot of technical expertise?
Adobe’s Spark platform offers instructors a wide range of templates to quickly and easily create compelling web-based texts suitable for assignment prompts, presentations, visual storytelling, and more. In this workshop, you will view Spark projects produced by Notre Dame instructors and students; you will also have a chance to experiment with the software and consider possible uses for your own teaching.
