8am PT | 10am CT | 11am ET | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET
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

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.
You'll discover:
-
Student perspectives on using generative AI for teaching and learning
-
Ideas for redesigning course deliverables to integrate AI tools across the curriculum
-
Practical insights for helping all students become critical, ethical, and agile users of emerging technologies

Digital Literacy Café Webinars
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.

Designing and Assessing Student Projects that Integrate Generative AI
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 will lead us in an interactive conversation about what their students are doing in the classroom with generative AI. They'll share class activities that have engaged students and helped build skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. And they'll tell us about the challenges they've encountered and the successes they've achieved.

One Year Later: Exploring New Policies and Guidelines for Integrating Generative AI Across the Curriculum
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.
What The World Needs Now: Teaching Wicked Problem-Solving in the Age of AI and GenTech Bots
Our panelists share their experiences using transformative digital pedagogies to address deep- seated, “wicked problems” such as racism, climate change, and social justice.
