Transforming a Traditional, Print-based Assignment into a Multimodal Project Using Adobe Spark
Full Abstract
Participants will take from this workshop an assignment prompt that has been re-imagined as an interactive, responsive multimodal project which enables students to compose with text, images, and video simultaneously. This hands-on workshop is appropriate for any course, anywhere across the curriculum, and any computer skill level, because it relies on Adobe Spark, which is a powerful, new, cloud-based application with an extremely flat learning curve. Assigning students an Adobe Spark project encourages the active production and circulation of their ideas and work, and it requires little-or-no class time to teach them how to use the application because it is so intuitive. Students and faculty can create these projects on any device with internet access, and they can easily share them because the application is web based and because Adobe Spark Page creates responsive microsites with individual URLs.
Participants will need to bring their own laptop or tablet with internet access to the workshop. If you already have an Adobe account and I.D., then be sure to test your current login and password ahead of time. If you do not have an Adobe I.D., go to https://spark.adobe.com/ ahead of time and set up a free account. Adobe Spark is a dynamic, scalable solution that is available for free to all faculty and students, and it makes it easy for any instructor or student to promote active learning, creativity, and digital literacy in any class across the curriculum.
