Transforming Teaching with Creative Media

Technology and media are constantly evolving and becoming ever more central to supporting learning. When we find ways to innovate with technology and incorporate new platforms in educational content, we can enhance teaching methods and help empower students' success in their future professional lives.

Utilizing Creative Tools to Enhance Teaching

GW is one of many universities  partnering with Adobe to bring their creative products to faculty and students.  We provide opportunities for the GW community to utilize the range of Adobe Express Premium tools to unleash creative communications, create new approaches to doing science, and chart innovative ways of leveraging Adobe's technologies in the classroom. To support this, staff at the Center for Teaching Excellence provide pedagogical guidance, design expertise and technical support for using these tools to enhance communications and teaching.
