Showcasing Inspirational Student Work Amplified by Generative AI
Wednesday, April 9, 2025
8am PT | 10am CT | 11am ET | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET
In our final Digital Literacy Café (DLC) session of the academic year, we’ll feature students who’ve created innovative course projects using generative AI. Coming from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, these inspiring students will describe their creative decision-making processes and share their experiences of learning with generative AI tools like Adobe Firefly. Our Café moderators will also quickly recap the previous five DLC sessions to reflect on the ways in which higher education thought leaders and faculty have enabled these students’ success.
FOR ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP
Digital Literacy Café Series
In our six sessions this year, higher education innovators will showcase how they’re supporting student success by integrating generative AI into courses across the curriculum. Find out how they’re designing and assessing assignments, enhancing visual communication skills, connecting generative AI skills with learning outcomes, and more to help all students graduate as critical, ethical, and agile users of emerging technologies.
Plus, check out our Adobe Express + Firefly Webinar Series to see how faculty are using creative and generative AI technologies to do everything from boost engagement to drive career readiness.

To integrate generative AI across the curriculum, higher education institutions must find meaningful connections between students’ day-to-day academic work, their learning outcomes, and the growing demand for AI literacy everywhere.
This session explores ways to do that work from the perspectives of both education and industry. Our featured panelists will reflect on what measurable skills and learning experiences students need in order to face the future classroom and an uncertain future of work.
They’ll also offer insights into what employers and academic institutions are looking for in terms of integrated approaches to generative AI across the curriculum.
You'll discover:
How innovative institutions in North America approach curricular transformation and career readiness in the age of generative AI
Strategies to thoughtfully and equitably invite all students to develop AI literacy through learning outcomes shared by all disciplines
The growing expectations industry stakeholders have for college graduates transitioning to or upskilling in the workforce
In higher education, most of the conversation about the impact of generative AI has focused on text output for research and writing projects. But what about image generation with AI? Join us to hear how three faculty members shared their diverse approaches to helping their students build essential visual communication skills, increasingly leveraging the power of Adobe Firefly and other generative AI tools.
-
How image-based AI tools can facilitate both general AI literacy and practical visual communication for academic work and beyond
-
Cross-curricular strategies to engage and empower learners through images, graphics, and creative thinking
-
Ways to equip students to become critical, ethical, agile users of visual generative AI, especially in their future careers
-
Exploring in-class exercises and lesson plans that integrate generative AI
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
To ensure that our students become critical, ethical, and agile users of generative AI, we need to integrate it into courses in every discipline. In this session, four faculty members shared a dozen successful classroom exercises and lesson plans that engage students and help build transferable skills like creativity and collaboration.
-
Practical day-to-day approaches to integrating generative AI in ways that promote student learning outcomes
-
Pedagogical principles behind the lesson plans and exercise
-
Our students are eager to learn to use generative AI and incorporate it into their work, and we are, too. But how can we integrate this technology into our coursework in ways that support our desired learning outcomes? In this session, faculty from four different disciplines led us in an interactive conversation about what their students have been doing in the classroom with generative AI.
They shared class activities that have engaged students and helped build skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. And they told us about the challenges they've encountered and the successes they've achieved.
-
How they created assessment strategies and rubrics to support their teaching goals
-
Practical insights on achieving the right learning outcomes
-
Instructional materials and student work samples to inspire your own innovations with assignments and assessment

One year later: exploring new policies and guidelines for integrating generative AI across the curriculum
Wednesday, August 28, 2024
At the start of the 2023-2024 school year, thought leaders from four campuses visited the Adobe Digital Literacy Café to share how they established initial guidelines around the use of generative AI in academics. One year later, three schools have gathered and shared how they have evolved their approaches to responsibly integrating the technology across the curriculum — as well as one EDUCAUSE researcher who recently coauthored a report on AI integration in the education sector.
-
How they’ve been working to ensure that their students and faculty can benefit from game-changing technology while maintaining academic integrity
-
How their new policies and guidelines are designed to help students develop in-demand career skills
-
Access to reports, projects, and other materials they’re creating related to generative AI policies and guidelines
-
In April, we concluded the Digital Literacy Café series with student perspectives. Four student exemplars from across the curriculum showcased their inspiring work as they reflected on the “essential skills” and “student learning outcomes” that they developed as a result.
The February episode of the Digital Literacy Café brought into focus the “essential skills” and “student learning outcomes” that educators were increasingly looking to integrate into their coursework across the entire curriculum through digital storytelling supported by generative AI.
