Integrating Visual Communication with Generative AI
Wednesday, 5 February 2025 | 4pm GMT
Most of the conversation about the impact of generative AI in higher education has focused on text output for research and writing projects. But what about image generation with AI? Join us to hear three faculty members share their diverse approaches to helping their students build essential visual communication skills, increasingly leveraging the power of Adobe Firefly and other generative AI tools.
While you’re waiting, check out our full on-demand content catalogue. Watch our experts provide a valuable platform for educators to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving digital landscape and equip themselves with the necessary tools to prepare their students for the future.
New Skilling Initiative
Adobe’s new skilling initiative, Adobe Digital Academy, launched worldwide in October to bring AI literacy, content creation, and digital marketing skills to millions of people. Now, that skills content is available directly on Adobe Learn and in Adobe Express.
These new Adobe Digital Academy content and courses leverage all the capabilities of the Adobe Learn offering: a modern learning experience, seamless connections into our apps, progression tracking and our learners motivated and advancing, and content that can be syndicated across surfaces and apps including Adobe Express.
Adobe Express users can access the Digital Academy content from the Learn Tab in the Adobe Express dashboard, plus access the full catalogue by selecting the “Career skills” section.
Adobe Express Feature Updates
