Scale & Importance of Digital Literacy
1. Digital literacy boosts student engagement.
When students use powerful content-creation tools like Adobe Creative Cloud for their
assignments and projects, they engage more deeply with the content, which helps them
better understand information and communicate their knowledge in visually and digitally
compelling ways. At the same time, faculty with digital skills can also make their course
materials more interesting, which helps with student engagement as well.
2.Digital literacy improves academic performance.
According to Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy, the act of creating requires a higher order of thinking
than other activities like remembering, understanding, and applying. When students use
Creative Cloud tools to create presentations, infographics, animations, videos, or ePortfolios
for their assignments, they understand it more deeply and retain it longer. This enables them
to communicate their ideas, discoveries, and arguments in more innovative ways—often
exceeding expectations in classes across all disciplines.
3. Digital literacy helps students stand out from their competition in the job market.
Students who are proficient with digital tools like Creative Cloud can more easily differentiate themselves during the job application process. They can create media-rich resumes and showcase their personal brands with ePorfolios of their student work. They can walk into interviews prepared to show examples of the digital communication skills companies expect, and they can demonstrate their ability to learn and apply new technology skills. Perhaps most importantly, they can prove that they’ve developed the creative mindset employers crave.
4. Digital literacy makes your school more competitive.
Today’s digital natives are content creators, not just content consumers. By providing Creative Cloud to all your students—not just the art and design majors—you can differentiate your institution, ensure all students are digitally literate, and recruit new students more successfully. For example, innovative schools like University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Arizona, Clemson University, and many others are making digital literacy and student access and equity a priority.
5. Driving digital literacy is easier than you think.
Adobe makes it easy for faculty in any discipline to incorporate Creative Cloud into their curricula. Faculty can find everything from simple learning modules to full professional development workshops on the Adobe Education Exchange. They can get inspired by the work and ideas of their peers And they can set up free Expert Services sessions to learn new app features and creative workflows from Adobe specialists.
