Brown Bag Lunch on Digital Literacy and Adobe on Friday, Nov. 16
The next IT Services Brown Bag lunch will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, in Arkansas Union rooms 503-504.
Research shows that continued exposure to digital literacy increases job market skills as students learn to create content, not just consume it. During this upcoming Brown Bag, attendees will learn how Adobe is providing tools, training and resources for educators who want to help students increase digital skills.
Steven Watson, Adobe's customer success manager for the University of Arkansas, will highlight success cases from around North America and discuss resources available to the university.
Participants are invited to bring their lunch and join in person or online with WebEx.
This is part of a series of Brown Bag lunches highlighting digital literacy and campus projects. Find a complete list of upcoming Brown Bag events at its.uark.edu/news-events.
