1 00:00:00,154 --> 00:00:06,134 [Auto-generated transcript. Edits may have been applied for clarity.] Um, and, uh, we're looking forward to having a fun, hands on, uh, workshop with you all today. 2 00:00:06,154 --> 00:00:09,334 So thank you so much for being here. Uh, but I'm Chelsea Huber. 3 00:00:09,604 --> 00:00:13,594 I'm an instructional technology coordinator over in the main library. 4 00:00:13,894 --> 00:00:17,704 Um, in my main area of work is in the Adobe creative space, 5 00:00:18,514 --> 00:00:24,843 and it's our mission to help students and faculty and staff use Adobe Creative Cloud, learn how to use it. 6 00:00:24,844 --> 00:00:32,344 And we, um, offer free workshops, help, uh, faculty integrate it into the their classes, um, help students use it. 7 00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:36,724 We also manage an Adobe helpdesk that is staffed by student consultants. 8 00:00:36,724 --> 00:00:43,144 John David was one of our consultants way back in the day. Not that far back at these very young. 9 00:00:43,564 --> 00:00:51,243 Um, and so, um, that, uh, gives you guys some extra assistance so that as you begin to integrate in your classes, 10 00:00:51,244 --> 00:00:56,044 if your students have questions about how to use Adobe, we can assist with that. 11 00:00:56,044 --> 00:01:00,184 So we can help take care of the technical pieces so you can focus on the content 12 00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:04,774 and helping students engaged with that content to help them learn even more. 13 00:01:04,834 --> 00:01:13,354 Okay. Um, so the first thing, if you would like to go ahead and get connected on your laptop and open up a browser window. 14 00:01:13,774 --> 00:01:17,584 Um, we're going to be working off of this presentation today. 15 00:01:17,944 --> 00:01:27,694 So if you could go to the short URL that's listed here on the screen, which is RB slash, I ask Adobe faculty. 16 00:01:28,444 --> 00:01:34,114 That should take you to this page. So when your screen looks like this you are in the right spot. 17 00:01:38,814 --> 00:01:41,064 This is an Adobe Express web page. 18 00:01:41,274 --> 00:01:50,484 So this is a really useful thing to use because you can actually I use it a lot as sort of a replacement for PowerPoint and also for presentations. 19 00:01:50,484 --> 00:01:58,014 It's very visual. It is a permalink. It's an actual web page, but I didn't have to use any code to create this drag and drop interface. 20 00:01:58,014 --> 00:02:05,333 Easy to use. Now you have all of the resources we're going to be using today that you can refer back to tomorrow. 21 00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:11,754 You will also be getting a follow up email from the the registration system with this URL. 22 00:02:11,754 --> 00:02:16,434 So you know, if you want to save it you're welcome to you're going to get a follow up email tomorrow with this. 23 00:02:16,614 --> 00:02:22,464 So if you want to refer back to the resources that I'm sharing today, you can totally do that okay. 24 00:02:23,514 --> 00:02:33,234 All right. So, um, our learning goals basically today is to kind of first start with understanding the access to Adobe Creative Cloud. 25 00:02:33,444 --> 00:02:39,384 We're going to touch on some learning evidence that we are aware of that um, shows that it is a, 26 00:02:39,654 --> 00:02:42,864 uh, positive thing when we integrate Adobe Creative Cloud in the classroom. 27 00:02:43,284 --> 00:02:48,764 And then our main mission today is to become familiar with Adobe Express by actually creating content. 28 00:02:48,774 --> 00:02:52,734 So once you're connected to the internet, you will have access to Adobe Express. 29 00:02:53,124 --> 00:02:57,804 You log in using your same username and password that you use for everything Auburn. 30 00:02:57,804 --> 00:02:59,334 So we'll be off to the races then. 31 00:02:59,964 --> 00:03:07,704 And then also, uh, towards the end, maybe be thinking about ways you could use Adobe Creative Cloud in your work and in your courses, 32 00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:12,324 and also learning ways to help engage students and promote digital literacy, 33 00:03:12,324 --> 00:03:17,784 because that's kind of, you know, the whole kind of point, um, you know, of, uh, using it. 34 00:03:18,564 --> 00:03:26,664 So first of all, the subscription access, all employees automatically have access to Adobe Creative Cloud. 35 00:03:27,324 --> 00:03:31,234 Um, and you just sign it. So that's a great, easy part. 36 00:03:31,254 --> 00:03:35,844 So that's really great. Um, for Adobe Express, you don't have to install anything. 37 00:03:35,844 --> 00:03:40,644 It's web based. If you want to use some of the other apps like Photoshop, InDesign, illustrator. 38 00:03:41,004 --> 00:03:44,304 You do need the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app installed. 39 00:03:44,604 --> 00:03:51,714 Um, and once it's installed, it'll have a little, uh, Adobe icon like this, or a colorful icon on the bottom of your dock and all of that. 40 00:03:52,164 --> 00:03:58,314 Um, if you need those apps, it's usually going to be best to contact your distributed IT provider, 41 00:03:58,644 --> 00:04:03,473 uh, because your computer may be managed and they may need to deploy that for you, but express. 42 00:04:03,474 --> 00:04:08,133 No problem. You can use it today. Just logging it. For students. 43 00:04:08,134 --> 00:04:13,684 The students automatically have access to Adobe Express also, so they just simply sign in. 44 00:04:14,044 --> 00:04:16,773 This is really this is a change in the licensing, 45 00:04:16,774 --> 00:04:24,784 which is really helpful for integrating it into the classroom easier because students don't have to go through a signup process or anything like that. 46 00:04:24,784 --> 00:04:27,994 You can just start using it in the classroom right away, which is great. 47 00:04:28,744 --> 00:04:36,604 If students need Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, anything else, they do need to put in a request@adobe.auburn.edu. 48 00:04:36,664 --> 00:04:39,274 They still get free access, but they have to request it. 49 00:04:39,514 --> 00:04:45,514 So that was the recent change in the licensing over the summer that it was able to work out with administration. 50 00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:50,434 This change in licensing provided you all with full access to a bit Creative Cloud. 51 00:04:50,614 --> 00:04:53,824 Okay. Because what we discovered is most students just need a W express. 52 00:04:54,214 --> 00:04:57,364 Um, but if they need the other apps then they have access. 53 00:04:58,654 --> 00:05:10,234 Also the adobe.auburn.edu website, which explains all of this licensing, um, is actually available as a resource in canvas. 54 00:05:10,624 --> 00:05:19,234 So if you wanted to add this website to your canvas page, there's instructions here on this presentation on how to do that. 55 00:05:19,594 --> 00:05:25,024 You it's a it's a resource like the writing center is a resource that you can add in canvas as well. 56 00:05:25,384 --> 00:05:27,934 Um, you can and that shows you how to add that. 57 00:05:27,934 --> 00:05:33,304 So if you want to just direct students to it within your canvas instance, you can totally do that as well. 58 00:05:34,644 --> 00:05:40,824 And also just to touch on some research here. And if you'd like to dive into it, I've got the report here and everything. 59 00:05:41,104 --> 00:05:50,003 Uh, but some research shows that there are measurable impacts on course mastery, GPAs, uh, career trajectories and persistence of students. 60 00:05:50,004 --> 00:05:52,674 If you integrate Adobe Creative Cloud into your courses. 61 00:05:52,944 --> 00:05:59,934 Um, so this was really a neat study that showed some positive, statistically significant, um, impacts on student learning. 62 00:06:00,084 --> 00:06:05,034 So we know this is this is data informed. What we're doing is data informed which is really great. 63 00:06:05,514 --> 00:06:13,223 And then also there's a creative AI jobs report that shows that if we help students with integrating AI literacy skills, 64 00:06:13,224 --> 00:06:18,264 which Adobe can help with with its AI art features, which you're going to get to try out today. 65 00:06:18,714 --> 00:06:23,694 Um, then that helps them with their AI literacy in the future for their jobs. 66 00:06:24,624 --> 00:06:27,924 And so with that, we're going to hop into Adobe Express. 67 00:06:28,104 --> 00:06:33,774 So if you're following along on the page with me, we're at the part where it says Explore Adobe Express. 68 00:06:34,014 --> 00:06:39,894 You can click the link here to go to express that adobe.com for the short URL. 69 00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:45,754 Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. So it's RB slash IRC. 70 00:06:45,774 --> 00:06:57,114 Adobe faculty is the short URL. You can also just make a new tab and go to express.adobe.com and sign in if you would like to do that. 71 00:06:57,444 --> 00:07:00,534 Okay. So I'll leave that up for just a second so you can kind of get there. 72 00:07:01,934 --> 00:07:07,234 Um, and also there is an Adobe Express app for your mobile device. 73 00:07:07,244 --> 00:07:15,214 So if you typically use an iPad or a phone as well, or you have students that do that right, maybe they don't have access to a more powerful computer. 74 00:07:15,224 --> 00:07:21,254 They only have a mobile device. Um, then there's ways that you can have them use express on their mobile device. 75 00:07:21,254 --> 00:07:24,754 Same thing, which is really great. Okay. 76 00:07:24,764 --> 00:07:29,924 So we're going to kind of go back down to um, the Explore Adobe Express. 77 00:07:30,764 --> 00:07:34,004 So what we're going to do first is go ahead and log into it. 78 00:07:34,604 --> 00:07:41,384 It'll open a new tab for you. And I'm actually going to sign out so I can follow along with you for how to sign in. 79 00:07:43,244 --> 00:07:47,233 So once you get to express I will do B.Com. And if you have any trouble, raise your hand. 80 00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:53,504 We'll come help you. You do put in your full Auburn email address to sign into express. 81 00:07:53,864 --> 00:07:59,744 If you get a little Google thing, just ignore that. Google's always trying to get you to use their login for stuff. 82 00:07:59,774 --> 00:08:03,814 This is not what we use. We have we use our email log in. 83 00:08:03,824 --> 00:08:05,624 So we're going to hit continue here. 84 00:08:06,164 --> 00:08:13,874 And one thing I want to be sure I point out to you is always log in using the company or school account because that's what you have access to. 85 00:08:14,264 --> 00:08:21,314 This is not a personal account okay. Adobe does provide a free instance to everyone. 86 00:08:21,614 --> 00:08:24,834 That is a personal account. You could do that in the future. 87 00:08:24,834 --> 00:08:27,493 Or if you want to keep your personal stuff separate from your work stuff, 88 00:08:27,494 --> 00:08:34,134 you could go create a personal account using a personal email address you know, or encourage other members of your family to do that. 89 00:08:34,154 --> 00:08:39,044 There is a free instance that anyone can use, but we use the company or school account. 90 00:08:39,314 --> 00:08:44,314 And then of course you'll get the Auburn authenticator. And you type in your password. 91 00:08:47,394 --> 00:08:53,254 You know, this part's a little tedious, but getting logged in to the right instance and getting a line is half the battle. 92 00:08:53,554 --> 00:08:55,820 Once we're there, pretty easy from there. So the organ authenticators the short? 93 00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:10,404 And and here's our first project. We're going to create an identity graphic using a template. 94 00:09:10,614 --> 00:09:13,614 So we signed into express to make sure you could sign in. 95 00:09:13,614 --> 00:09:17,454 But now we're going to access the template. And there's a link to the template right here. 96 00:09:17,814 --> 00:09:21,084 Before we do that just take a look at this, uh sort of example. 97 00:09:21,624 --> 00:09:31,134 It's going to give us a graphics template. So Adobe Express essentially helps you create three different categories of types of content. 98 00:09:31,434 --> 00:09:35,574 The first type is graphics which you're going to explore using this project number one. 99 00:09:35,814 --> 00:09:41,874 But graphics can include anything from social media posts to printed fliers to a research poster. 100 00:09:42,204 --> 00:09:49,614 Adobe Express can print, uh, for sure up to 48 by 48, so you can use it for research posters, too, or have your students do that. 101 00:09:50,004 --> 00:09:54,474 A flier, um, any kind of custom graphic, um, all of that. 102 00:09:54,474 --> 00:09:58,224 So any kind of imagery you can use that, uh, you can use Adobe Express for. 103 00:09:58,554 --> 00:10:02,984 So what we're going to do next is choose to, uh, use the template. 104 00:10:02,994 --> 00:10:11,294 So if you'll click using the template provided here. Then what you're going to do is choose remix. 105 00:10:12,494 --> 00:10:17,114 And what this will do is open that template in your instance of Adobe Express. 106 00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:23,954 So now this is your copy. Using a template like this is also something you can do with your students. 107 00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:31,514 Express gives you the ability to create a template that you could then share with them, that then they walk through a process to iterate. 108 00:10:31,574 --> 00:10:35,094 Okay, so that's a way you can kind of guide their design if you want to. 109 00:10:35,114 --> 00:10:39,344 You can also leave it more open ended. But I'm going to go ahead and choose remix. 110 00:10:41,024 --> 00:10:48,164 After we've chosen remix, the first thing we should do is name our file so that we can find it again much more easily. 111 00:10:48,914 --> 00:10:55,304 So up on the upper left hand corner, you have your untitled sort of, uh, name of this file. 112 00:10:55,334 --> 00:11:06,194 Let's rename that and let's do something that makes sense, like maybe, uh, Graphics Project one or something like that, or identity graphic. 113 00:11:10,004 --> 00:11:12,584 I'm going to give it a one, because I may have made one before. 114 00:11:12,854 --> 00:11:21,584 And then once you type in a name, you can just hit enter and it'll just take a second to rename it and it says it's renamed and now it has a name. 115 00:11:22,004 --> 00:11:31,744 So one reason why we want to make sure it has a good name is that now this is saved in Adobe Express Online in your My Stuff folder. 116 00:11:31,754 --> 00:11:35,264 So over on the left hand side you see a folder that says your stuff. 117 00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:39,644 That's where this file lives now. And that's where all of your files live. 118 00:11:40,064 --> 00:11:44,984 And that's a really nice thing too, because for students, then you don't have the issue of, oh, 119 00:11:44,984 --> 00:11:49,504 my projects on so-and-so's computer and they're not here, or my computer died or something. 120 00:11:49,514 --> 00:11:55,734 You know, I don't have power. You don't, you know, have any of those types of issues because somebody can access it. 121 00:11:55,754 --> 00:12:00,704 Um, you can access this stuff wherever you have internet access and can log in. 122 00:12:00,764 --> 00:12:02,614 So that really saves us a lot of trouble. So from here now, what we're going to do question. 123 00:12:03,124 --> 00:12:14,344 So under share, um, you or students can invite anyone who also has an Adobe ID, um, so they can just type in their, uh, classmate's name. 124 00:12:14,644 --> 00:12:18,783 Um, and then the issue populate with their email address because it's all in the system. 125 00:12:18,784 --> 00:12:21,933 They know that we're in the Auburn instance of express and all of that. 126 00:12:21,934 --> 00:12:24,934 It should just start populating, which is really great. 127 00:12:25,324 --> 00:12:28,714 And then what you can do is after you type in their name, you'll just hit share. 128 00:12:29,134 --> 00:12:32,834 And then you can give them edit access or view only access. 129 00:12:32,854 --> 00:12:39,364 And this is fantastic. For group projects you can have one student create the project, share it with everybody else. 130 00:12:39,364 --> 00:12:43,474 Then everyone has edit access and you don't have that same issue, right? 131 00:12:43,474 --> 00:12:46,744 Oh, so-and-so is not here and their group project is on that computer. 132 00:12:47,164 --> 00:12:50,224 Not not an issue anymore if they've shared it right. 133 00:12:50,464 --> 00:12:53,854 And um, that way we anybody can, um, edit it and so on. 134 00:12:54,454 --> 00:13:01,594 They can also share it with you if you want to have a little bit more view of what they're doing in Adobe Express, that is another option. 135 00:13:01,984 --> 00:13:07,054 Um, you know, I've some faculty who do that because they like to get in there and sort of comment on their designs. 136 00:13:07,264 --> 00:13:10,354 That's sort of a above and beyond feature, if you would like to try that. 137 00:13:10,354 --> 00:13:12,784 But yeah, definitely, you can share the file. 138 00:13:12,904 --> 00:13:19,173 And then when we were when we're finished with this and we want to post it or turn it in, there's a download feature. 139 00:13:19,174 --> 00:13:22,204 In this case we get options for PNG or Jpeg. 140 00:13:22,354 --> 00:13:30,093 That's how they may submit their work to you. I recommend that because then in canvas you'll see the PNG or Jpeg right there 141 00:13:30,094 --> 00:13:33,544 in canvas you don't have to like click a link to go somewhere else to see it. 142 00:13:33,724 --> 00:13:39,183 That way you've got you can see it right there. You may have a rubric right there that you can use to grade. 143 00:13:39,184 --> 00:13:41,978 It makes it very easy for viewing and then grading, viewing and then grading and so on. 144 00:13:45,129 --> 00:13:53,529 have them download the PNG or Jpeg or PDF, um, either one of those would work and then upload that to canvas. 145 00:13:53,589 --> 00:13:57,189 That's correct. So those are the file types you would want to allow in canvas. 146 00:13:57,189 --> 00:14:05,889 And the assignment. Yes. Mhm. And so um now what I'd like to do is let's take some time to remix our identity graphic. 147 00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:14,099 So it takes a little little bit of time. And we're going to walk around and help you if you need any help but complete the identity graphic for you. 148 00:14:14,109 --> 00:14:18,369 And so in Adobe Express to make changes to anything that you want, 149 00:14:18,729 --> 00:14:26,889 you basically just click on whatever you want to make changes to and then notice you get a different menu over here on the left hand side. 150 00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:31,779 So since I've clicked on the text box, now I can choose different types of text, 151 00:14:31,779 --> 00:14:36,128 different sizes, all kinds of, you know, different effects and things like that. 152 00:14:36,129 --> 00:14:42,429 If I want to change what it says, I can just double click, you know, and then just start typing and make changes. 153 00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:47,319 Um, there's also an image here, okay, of this person. 154 00:14:47,529 --> 00:14:54,969 Now, if you happen to have a photo of yourself and you'd like to put it on here, you are welcome to do that to add images and all of that. 155 00:14:55,209 --> 00:14:59,739 What we would do is we would go to the uh media tab. 156 00:14:59,859 --> 00:15:03,189 And so what we're going to do is go over here to media. 157 00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:12,069 You can upload your own picture if you have your own picture, if you don't have your own picture, here's a fun thing you can try if you would like to. 158 00:15:12,219 --> 00:15:18,249 You can either search Adobe Stock you know, for a person, and just put a random person in there if you want to do that. 159 00:15:18,609 --> 00:15:26,498 And what's so cool about, uh, searching here is that all of these are Adobe Stock images, so they're all commercial safe. 160 00:15:26,499 --> 00:15:32,289 You don't have to worry about violating any sort of copyright. You don't have to send students to any other place to go get photos. 161 00:15:32,289 --> 00:15:41,109 It's all right here. Integrated inside of Adobe Express. You can also try the AI art generator and make your own avatar. 162 00:15:41,409 --> 00:15:46,119 This could be fun if you want to try it. To do that, you would hit Generate Image. 163 00:15:46,329 --> 00:15:50,439 We probably want to keep the same ratio because this is a square ratio, right? 164 00:15:50,439 --> 00:15:54,819 So we'll just choose that. And now we're using Adobe Firefly. 165 00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:58,419 Adobe Firefly is Adobe's AI art modeler. 166 00:15:58,809 --> 00:16:05,109 And what is so different about Firefly is that it's trained only on Adobe Stock images and public domain images, 167 00:16:05,319 --> 00:16:10,629 so it does not violate copyright like many other AI art generators do. 168 00:16:10,899 --> 00:16:15,669 So it's being very Adobe's always being very respectful and promoting the artists. 169 00:16:15,669 --> 00:16:19,119 Right. And so this is the way that they've chosen to deal with AI. 170 00:16:19,119 --> 00:16:26,528 Art is by being transparent. And when you do use Firefly, it records that information in the metadata of the image. 171 00:16:26,529 --> 00:16:32,769 So if it's posted online, people can see how much of this image is AI, how much is the artist created? 172 00:16:33,219 --> 00:16:36,399 Um, and that also makes it commercial safe. Okay. 173 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,679 Now, because of that, it doesn't understand proprietary information. 174 00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:48,248 We can't use this to make the nor should we write anything that is branded Auburn. 175 00:16:48,249 --> 00:16:53,349 Stick with the brand center always but fun stuff using it to create avatars. 176 00:16:53,349 --> 00:16:54,699 Having your students do that. 177 00:16:54,999 --> 00:17:02,619 I've had, um, English courses use this to make different characters for games that were focused on a certain time period. 178 00:17:02,859 --> 00:17:06,189 You know, you can be really creative and inventive. It turns anyone into an artist. 179 00:17:06,489 --> 00:17:13,029 So what you can type here is some sort of description, um, and you can make it fun or cartoony or any kind of style. 180 00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:18,009 Um, here's some tips that I would recommend for when you're prompting an AI art model. 181 00:17:18,459 --> 00:17:20,289 Put whatever's most important first. 182 00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:28,329 It's going to place more value on that information that you put in the text prompt first, and then add additional details after. 183 00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:31,689 And then you can also choose different styles and things like that. 184 00:17:31,689 --> 00:17:35,799 So I can say, uh, create an avatar. 185 00:17:36,959 --> 00:17:46,389 Of a. I'm going to say, young lady who has blond hair and you pull whatever you want. 186 00:17:46,629 --> 00:17:52,139 I'm just going to do a quick example. And blue eyes. 187 00:17:53,659 --> 00:17:57,929 Um. Fun. Professional. 188 00:17:58,649 --> 00:18:03,149 Okay. And then I can even choose a, um, a reference image. 189 00:18:03,149 --> 00:18:07,379 If I wanted to upload a photo of myself and have it referred to that, I could do that. 190 00:18:07,389 --> 00:18:10,609 I can also choose a different style, like digital art. That might be fun. 191 00:18:10,619 --> 00:18:16,349 I'm gonna choose that and hit generate. And if it does turn out the way you want, guess what? 192 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,299 You can go back and try again. Right. So you can give it a try. 193 00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:24,909 See what it does. It should give you a couple of examples to choose from. 194 00:18:24,939 --> 00:18:34,149 Oh look how cute. Very nice. And what I also like about it too is I didn't tell it an ethnicity, but it came up with some diverse responses. 195 00:18:34,389 --> 00:18:38,349 You know, for me, I didn't have to say incorporate diversity. 196 00:18:38,569 --> 00:18:42,469 It did that automatically, which is really nice. So I wasn't specific. 197 00:18:42,489 --> 00:18:45,909 It gave me several different options. Pretty cool right? 198 00:18:46,269 --> 00:18:51,519 Instead of being standardize so and other things you can do also. 199 00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:56,329 Now with that this image is created. Um, under media. 200 00:18:56,899 --> 00:19:00,339 Uh, we can also go to. 201 00:19:00,919 --> 00:19:04,579 We can get out of generate image. We can remove the background. 202 00:19:05,419 --> 00:19:10,699 So if we get out of generate image and just go to selecting the image, we can remove the background. 203 00:19:10,819 --> 00:19:17,109 We don't have to go to Photoshop to do this. It's using Photoshop uh code and technology to do this. 204 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,149 And bam. Now we have remove the background. 205 00:19:20,419 --> 00:19:25,279 We can add this lady right here. And we can go through and make changes to this. 206 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:33,319 But play around with the text, the colors and add a photo or avatar image and then share with a table mate. 207 00:19:33,439 --> 00:19:37,949 Um, if you feel comfortable sharing, we would love for you to do. So we'll take five minutes to do this, okay. 208 00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,510 So be sure you get a chance to maybe play with elements. 209 00:19:48,530 --> 00:19:52,640 Under the elements menu. You have all kinds of shapes. 210 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,330 You have call outs. You also have these icons. 211 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,930 The icons might be really helpful in this type of graphic, 212 00:19:59,930 --> 00:20:04,999 because it's a little bit like an infographic, and you want to maybe just capture somebodies attention. 213 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,010 So I added sushi and a pizza because those are my favorite foods over here. 214 00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:16,100 And then, um, I just left the bicycle there, but, uh, that'll be fine. 215 00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:22,170 But you can too. You can add anything you want. To your design just by clicking on it. 216 00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:26,950 And then you can also change the color of it. So you can try those things to. 217 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:39,290 Um, that is an option that you could do with your own classes on the left hand side of your menu, 218 00:20:39,620 --> 00:20:44,780 you have, uh, templates, um, that you can apply to a current project. 219 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:49,970 You can also start from scratch and have a blank canvas to start with. 220 00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:55,490 The way that you would start with a template is just like what we did, except I gave you a specific link. 221 00:20:55,700 --> 00:21:00,859 What you can do is also search in templates. So your students also have access to all these templates. 222 00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:08,030 So say you wanted them to create eight and a half by 11 flier on a certain topic or whatever, or a biography identity graphic like this. 223 00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:16,100 For a famous person in history or whatever it is, they could use those templates if they wanted to and manipulate them just like you did here. 224 00:21:16,490 --> 00:21:20,540 Um, also, you can start from scratch as well. 225 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:26,989 And uh, a way that you can do that, um, is essentially from the home screen. 226 00:21:26,990 --> 00:21:31,520 If we click back on the A, that gets us back to the home screen and you might be worried. 227 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,589 Wait, word my graphic. Go. No worries. Remember we named it and it's under the Your Stuff folder. 228 00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:41,420 So just to make sure you know how to find your things you can click back on the Your Stuff folder. 229 00:21:41,660 --> 00:21:45,889 And there's our graphic that we were working on. This is why it's also important to name it. 230 00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:51,080 So you can search for your files by name as well and explain to students to do that as well. 231 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,700 But back from the home screen, if you wanted to create any kind of graphic, 232 00:21:56,090 --> 00:22:02,990 clicking the little purple plus sign over here on the left hand side will get you all kinds of custom. 233 00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:05,329 Uh, you can choose a custom size. 234 00:22:05,330 --> 00:22:14,960 They also knows the resolution sizes of many standard things, so your you and your students don't have to know what the specific resolution sizes are. 235 00:22:15,170 --> 00:22:20,330 You can just click them. So if you get tasked with maybe you got to create some digital signage. 236 00:22:20,660 --> 00:22:25,819 The 16 by nine is the digital signage. A you involve has their own resolution size. 237 00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:30,620 You would choose custom size and change the resolution size 13 by 780 or whatever. 238 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:35,929 Um, their random thing is, if you're going to make social media, if you're going to make, uh, you know, 239 00:22:35,930 --> 00:22:40,010 anything else, you can start with that plus sign and just kind of get started with it, okay? 240 00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:45,109 All right. That was pretty fun, right? You guys create a graphic. That would be a fun, uh, way. 241 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:52,040 Uh, thank you. He was saying earlier, it's kind of like, uh, he could do a graphical introduction to himself, to his students, right? 242 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,340 So he could put, like, logos in places he he's worked. 243 00:22:55,550 --> 00:22:59,029 Photos, maybe that, um, would help him, you know, 244 00:22:59,030 --> 00:23:04,640 sort of express to the students his background and things that he's done in his life and that sort of thing. 245 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,930 A little bit more fun than reading just a bullet list. Right? So that could be a way. 246 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:13,430 And that gives us a great segue into our next activity. 247 00:23:14,090 --> 00:23:18,260 So back on our presentation page, we were able to complete the graphic. 248 00:23:18,260 --> 00:23:21,770 That was a lot of fun. We have a mini project number two. 249 00:23:22,130 --> 00:23:29,960 So now our second project is another category of things that, uh, express can help us create is video. 250 00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:40,400 And this is a really nice way for you and students to make video because Adobe Express gives you some stock video ready to access within express. 251 00:23:40,850 --> 00:23:45,260 This is one of the biggest things that makes creating video difficult. 252 00:23:45,290 --> 00:23:52,040 Is footage getting good footage, right? So your students don't have to necessarily go out and try to get good footage. 253 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,540 If you're having them do that, that's fantastic. They can upload their own, but there's also stock footage, 254 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,940 and there's also these fun little animate characters where it'll automatically animate according to your voice. 255 00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:07,460 So for your next project, you can kind of choose which one you might like to do. 256 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,450 I'm going to show you the animate character feature. I use this to introduce my students to me. 257 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,380 Uh, and then let me unmute it here. 258 00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:27,800 And what I usually do is I take this video and then I, um, upload it to Panopto, and then I have it caption it, 259 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:34,160 and then I put Panopto embedded into the canvas page, and that's on my home page of my canvas page. 260 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,000 And I encourage students to watch the video before they come to the first class. 261 00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:42,500 And then I get information from them about them introducing themselves to me. 262 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,240 But that way they've done it. Plus and Panopto, I can see if they viewed it and who is viewed it. 263 00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:53,480 So that's an advantage of taking things you've created and putting them into our official video platform. 264 00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:57,831 Okay. Um, so going to play this one. Mm. 265 00:24:59,084 --> 00:25:05,444 And also, as we all have, I won't make you watch the whole thing, but, uh, it's limited to two minutes, so. 266 00:25:05,444 --> 00:25:09,433 But that's kind of a good thing on our end because it keeps us short. 267 00:25:09,434 --> 00:25:13,364 Right? And, um, also, students could use this. It has lots of characters you could choose from. 268 00:25:13,364 --> 00:25:17,204 That's one option. Another, uh, second option for video, uh, 269 00:25:17,204 --> 00:25:24,283 for mini project two is if you'd like to create a brief intro video to a unit you teach using the video feature, 270 00:25:24,284 --> 00:25:28,304 there is stock footage you could pull in. You can record yourself. 271 00:25:28,604 --> 00:25:34,333 Um, obviously what we make today isn't going to be polished and done because it's not a good recording area for us, 272 00:25:34,334 --> 00:25:38,714 for us to all be working at the same time. But if you practice it, you'll get the idea of it. 273 00:25:38,924 --> 00:25:43,844 It also lets you record a voiceover super easy. So let's maybe hop into that feature. 274 00:25:43,844 --> 00:25:48,883 All right. Um, and just orienting students to a unit that's coming up. 275 00:25:48,884 --> 00:25:58,904 Um, when I was taking some online courses, I had a professor who had, um, a short like two minutes or less, usually introductory video for that week. 276 00:25:59,114 --> 00:26:03,134 So what we were going to be doing for that week and that that professor would usually cover, 277 00:26:03,404 --> 00:26:06,674 uh, where we've been, where we are and where we going in the course. 278 00:26:06,884 --> 00:26:11,234 And so that's can be a nice way to sort of just orient students, especially with those online courses. 279 00:26:11,234 --> 00:26:14,414 You may not have as much, um, you know, personal contact with them. 280 00:26:14,714 --> 00:26:23,234 So let's create a video. So if you'd like to do the character video, um, then you can either search, 281 00:26:23,564 --> 00:26:30,374 um, animate up at the top and then you'll see the animate characters feature. 282 00:26:30,974 --> 00:26:39,344 You can also scroll over to the right under the sort of Quick Actions area here, and it will show you the animate characters feature. 283 00:26:39,734 --> 00:26:43,894 So I'll just go ahead and hop into that. You can do this with me. 284 00:26:44,374 --> 00:26:49,593 And then, um, you can choose a character and there's all sorts of different characters they'll load. 285 00:26:49,594 --> 00:26:56,164 It just takes a second. We're all we're probably all pulling the internet in here at the same time. 286 00:26:56,824 --> 00:27:00,963 But you can choose different types of characters. There's categories you can choose from. 287 00:27:00,964 --> 00:27:04,474 So if you just want sort of a professional looking person, you can do that. 288 00:27:04,984 --> 00:27:08,014 Um, you do have to select from these characters. 289 00:27:08,074 --> 00:27:15,484 You cannot create your own avatar and then do it that way. That takes a lot more generative AI power than we get in express right now. 290 00:27:15,814 --> 00:27:22,427 You may notice this little add on at the bottom. Uh, because we're enterprise, we don't really have the access to the add ons. 291 00:27:25,334 --> 00:27:30,004 You can choose a background. You can choose a size. 292 00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:37,440 So once you play around with choosing a character, background and size, 293 00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:44,640 you'll hit record and then it'll do a countdown for you, and then you can record up to two minutes of audio. 294 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,700 After you record that two minutes of audio or so or 30s, you can just do a little bit today to kind of see how it works. 295 00:27:51,150 --> 00:28:00,570 It'll take a second to process and then you can play it back. Also notice there's a little feature under the record button that says Enhance Speech. 296 00:28:01,110 --> 00:28:08,350 That is an AI feature of Adobe Express that will automatically improve the quality of your audio. 297 00:28:08,370 --> 00:28:14,009 So even if you're just using your little internal laptop microphone right now, no problem. 298 00:28:14,010 --> 00:28:22,610 Hit this little button. It'll enhance your voice as you record, and it'll make it sound like you're in a recording studio, which is really great. 299 00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:25,470 It does a fantastic job. So use it. Record. 300 00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:34,360 And so now I'm recording my video and the character is going to animate according to the inflection in my voice. 301 00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:38,740 So it's important to actually have inflection in your voice and not sound so monotone, 302 00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:44,290 because otherwise your character will not look very active and it'll be a little boring for me. 303 00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:47,620 Yeah, absolutely. Go ahead and give it a try and record. 304 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,090 And you can see it's just taking a second for it to sort of process and everything. 305 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:55,630 And then you can play it back, see if you like it. 306 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:59,319 If you like it you can keep it. If not, you can also redo it. 307 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,219 But today is just for playing around. So you know, don't. 308 00:29:03,220 --> 00:29:08,260 And also in general, um, you know, when we present live to students, we're not perfect. 309 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,280 You don't have to be absolutely perfect in every single one of your recordings either. 310 00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:16,599 In fact, it makes you sound more natural, you know, and they're more likely to listen better. 311 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,090 Actually, if you have a few ums in there, it's okay to talk like a real person and then they'll be, 312 00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:25,600 uh, reacting better to that and then it'll create it. 313 00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:28,892 All right. Give it a try. Us? Uh, maybe that's fair. 314 00:29:29,399 --> 00:29:35,538 So once you do create your recording you can either, uh download it and it saves as MP4. 315 00:29:35,539 --> 00:29:39,109 Do what you want with it. That's where you would put it in Panopto and then put it wherever you want. 316 00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:45,979 You can also continue to edit it by opening in an editor and then add stock footage after that if you wanted to. 317 00:29:45,979 --> 00:29:54,378 So you have that option. But I'm going to take a second to show you, um, a second way to make a video, and then we'll have some playtime. 318 00:29:54,379 --> 00:30:03,928 How about that? Oh, I got that. All right, next the demo super quick if you want to make a stock, uh, 319 00:30:03,929 --> 00:30:10,409 it's just a video either recording yourself live or doing a voiceover or some stock footage and some audio. 320 00:30:10,739 --> 00:30:15,649 If you hit the plus sign, then you'll get some options for video. 321 00:30:15,659 --> 00:30:22,709 And because this is going and if this is going to go in canvas, we probably want the standard like YouTube size is probably what we want. 322 00:30:22,919 --> 00:30:27,089 But notice you can do portrait style if you're filming for social media or whatever. 323 00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:29,549 Um, there are templates you can pick from. 324 00:30:29,549 --> 00:30:35,459 We're going to create from scratch to make it easier, but the templates just give you some additional like intros and outros you can pick from. 325 00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:40,379 You already know how to manipulate graphics. Now same thing applies to video okay. 326 00:30:40,379 --> 00:30:45,089 So if you do that you could always just, uh, edit it. But I'm going to choose to create video. 327 00:30:45,659 --> 00:30:51,239 So this is how to create stock video. And then we'll take some time to play. And you can choose whichever project you want to do or do both. 328 00:30:51,899 --> 00:31:00,479 Um under here we're going to add media. So if we click Add Media and I did the plus sign and video is what I did. 329 00:31:01,529 --> 00:31:06,389 And then notice you get some options for Adobe Stock Images in Adobe Stock Video. 330 00:31:06,419 --> 00:31:15,159 Let's choose video. And what we can do is now that we have the video tab, which is always under media anyway you can get. 331 00:31:15,169 --> 00:31:19,329 So that way too is you can search for video here. 332 00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:23,949 So let's say I'm doing my video on like visual design, things like that. 333 00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:30,969 I can sort of mouse over these options and see some stock footage of some things that have to do with design, 334 00:31:31,509 --> 00:31:35,549 and I can decide what I might like to add. I saw a color one here. 335 00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:40,029 Here it is. This is really cool. Once you see one that you like, you can click to add it. 336 00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:44,859 And now you can basically preview this and see how it looks. 337 00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:49,059 These stock videos do not come with audio. 338 00:31:49,209 --> 00:31:52,269 So on purpose so that you can add your own. 339 00:31:52,569 --> 00:31:57,619 Uh you know, so if you can add stock music if you want to, you can also record a voiceover. 340 00:31:57,639 --> 00:32:03,189 You could also record yourself and then remove the background in have your this be your background and all of that. 341 00:32:03,579 --> 00:32:06,699 So just keep that in mind. Don't be expecting audio to be here. 342 00:32:06,849 --> 00:32:11,319 You would have to add that. Um, and then you can trim this video. 343 00:32:11,479 --> 00:32:15,458 It'll tell you how long it is, you know, how many seconds and that sort of thing. 344 00:32:15,459 --> 00:32:21,969 So you can click and drag to trim it. And then we can keep adding more media so we can either upload more media. 345 00:32:22,209 --> 00:32:28,769 We can also just add another scene. Um, we can go over here and keep searching for more video as well. 346 00:32:28,779 --> 00:32:35,479 And just we can also record ourselves and if you record yourself is going to say, hey, um, can I have access to your camera? 347 00:32:35,499 --> 00:32:39,129 You can allow that. You can record yourself. So that's an option. 348 00:32:39,429 --> 00:32:45,579 Once you record yourself, you can also remove the background from a video without a green screen. 349 00:32:46,239 --> 00:32:49,539 That's pretty epic on a web browser. 350 00:32:50,229 --> 00:32:56,408 That's pretty amazing. So you can have, you know, sort of a really cool, sort of more engaging, you know, 351 00:32:56,409 --> 00:33:02,109 sort of lecture style presentation here if you wanted to, or a brief introduction, um, which is pretty neat. 352 00:33:02,619 --> 00:33:10,119 Notice there's an enhanced speech feature here too, that you can do, um, and you can just continue to add, you know, media to the scene. 353 00:33:10,509 --> 00:33:14,439 Um, there's ways to adjust it. There's all kinds of duo tones and things like that. 354 00:33:14,439 --> 00:33:17,799 Question. Is it limited to two minutes? No. Good question. 355 00:33:18,009 --> 00:33:23,669 This video is not limited at all. Now it is a web based browser. 356 00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:30,519 So the bigger your video, the harder it's going to be for like the web browser to keep up and the internet to keep up. 357 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:37,289 This is really better for shorter form video, but you could definitely go to longer than two minutes no problem. 358 00:33:37,299 --> 00:33:41,229 So if you're doing a 5 to 6 minute video intro, even, you know, 359 00:33:41,229 --> 00:33:47,049 then you could definitely do it on this platform if you wanted to do even more with video. 360 00:33:47,349 --> 00:33:53,289 There's another editor called Premiere Rush, which would be the next level of an editor that you get access to. 361 00:33:53,619 --> 00:34:01,459 It's also really, uh, intuitive to use, and it lets you layer up to four layers of video in express. 362 00:34:01,479 --> 00:34:07,969 You can add one layer so you can have yourself, you know, or you can have a picture in picture, but that's it. 363 00:34:07,989 --> 00:34:11,499 In rush, you can have up to four layers of video and three layers audio. 364 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:25,650 And it does give you basically just a shareable link that you can post that might be a good option for students. 365 00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:29,669 You know, um, if your video starts to get bad, canvas may not accept it. 366 00:34:29,670 --> 00:34:33,240 You know, um, depending on the file size, if it's a short video, 367 00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:38,100 they'll be fine to download the MP4 and upload it, but you can also get a shared link. 368 00:34:38,430 --> 00:34:43,710 And this is what you guys will do in order to kind of keep your video and maybe put it in a journal. 369 00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:51,359 Um, you can, uh, share it to anyone with the link can access and then uh, copy that link, 370 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:56,580 and then that link would just open in a browser for anyone, regardless of whether they have an Adobe ID or not. 371 00:34:57,373 --> 00:35:04,003 So as long as students have access to Adobe Express, which is the duration of their academic career at Auburn, 372 00:35:04,393 --> 00:35:08,611 they they get their access removed like two days after graduation. 373 00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:15,835 We also have instructions on the graduation information and on its service desk site. 374 00:35:16,135 --> 00:35:25,044 Um, there's a whole graduation like that's the, uh, article from OET that's very comprehensive about when they lose access to all this stuff, 375 00:35:25,045 --> 00:35:27,174 which things they still get access to, and all of that. 376 00:35:27,175 --> 00:35:33,295 And the instructions, we have instructions, therefore, because there's a free instance of Adobe Express, 377 00:35:33,715 --> 00:35:44,305 they can go create a free account using a personal email, share this project with themselves to that personal account, and duplicate the project. 378 00:35:44,515 --> 00:35:50,065 That way they become the new owner. Yeah. So those are the tricks with the the transitioning. 379 00:35:50,245 --> 00:35:51,955 That also brings up a good topic. 380 00:35:51,955 --> 00:36:02,695 If you have students who work for you and you want them to create content for you, it's best for you to create the initial project or shell, 381 00:36:02,725 --> 00:36:07,555 you know, get it started, share the project with that student who's working for you. 382 00:36:07,795 --> 00:36:12,354 They can edit it and do all of that, but you maintain ownership of the file. 383 00:36:12,355 --> 00:36:16,975 That way when that student moves on or graduates or leaves the job, you still have access. 384 00:36:17,275 --> 00:36:19,735 Yeah. So these are great questions about file management. 385 00:36:20,005 --> 00:36:26,540 And because these are all cloud files, they're always going to be tied to whoever was logged in and created the project in the first place. 386 00:36:31,329 --> 00:36:35,738 You can add a text box, you can add a icon. 387 00:36:35,739 --> 00:36:40,269 You can add any of these elements that you added to the graphics. Same thing you could do to the video. 388 00:36:40,569 --> 00:36:46,349 Okay, let's take some time and uh, create some more projects and raise your hand if we can help. 389 00:36:46,359 --> 00:36:46,492 Okay. So try to create either the animation if you want or a stock video, uh, type video for your course. 390 00:36:56,507 --> 00:37:01,457 Uh, infographic style is what they tend to be. So you can see here are some examples. 391 00:37:01,697 --> 00:37:07,287 So it depends on how much. Just who needs you, and they are more vertical and horizontal. 392 00:37:07,787 --> 00:37:10,972 So that's all this is an idea? Yeah, yeah. I don't actually care what it looks like it, but there's a building on it. 393 00:37:16,472 --> 00:37:19,562 There's also the Adobe Stock images they can pull from. 394 00:37:20,012 --> 00:37:28,082 There's even more. We're going to talk about this in a second, but there's even more stock images at Adobe stock.com. 395 00:37:28,262 --> 00:37:34,742 You could also have them, of course. Library of Congress, um, you know, for Spain websites or images or whatever. 396 00:37:34,892 --> 00:37:38,702 Yeah. But you can search um, Adobe Stock. 397 00:37:38,732 --> 00:37:43,382 This is like more images than it then is available just within the express search. 398 00:37:43,802 --> 00:37:49,082 So if they wanted, if you wanted them to search even more, you know, they can do that. 399 00:37:49,262 --> 00:37:54,722 So let's say, um, uh, we'll just say sports. 400 00:37:54,722 --> 00:38:00,752 Maybe it's history sports or whatever. And then over here there's tons more filters. 401 00:38:02,862 --> 00:38:08,052 And, uh, sort of. And so this gives them more images to choose from. 402 00:38:08,142 --> 00:38:14,022 Yeah. Yeah. So that could be an option too. But yeah, I would say see what you think about those timelines here. 403 00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:19,182 Yeah. And you can even like give them a link to one of these or something. 404 00:38:19,752 --> 00:38:23,052 Yeah. So we can click it. And here's a link. 405 00:38:23,052 --> 00:38:26,411 So by clicking one of the gives them this link to this exact one. 406 00:38:26,412 --> 00:38:29,472 Or post down time positioning. So that could be a thing. 407 00:38:29,832 --> 00:38:33,404 And then they just customize it because like you said it helps them get in the door instead of learning that you know how they spending time. 408 00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:48,490 So a nice, uh, third sort of, uh, category of things that express helps you create is a web page which you've actually been using this whole time. 409 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,740 This is an Adobe Express web page. So you can kind of get an idea of the things that lets you put on there, right? 410 00:38:54,130 --> 00:38:58,840 I was able to embed the Adobe Express video that I made. 411 00:38:59,020 --> 00:39:05,050 Now, yours may not quite work today because it takes some time to process that video that you just made. 412 00:39:05,290 --> 00:39:09,990 You do also have to make the video public with, uh, anyone anyone with the link. 413 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,250 Make sure you have the correct published link. 414 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:20,410 That's always the thing with these Adobe Express projects, is they either download the product or share the link and make sure the link is shared. 415 00:39:20,830 --> 00:39:25,810 Um, and all of that. Um, so yours may not quite embed today, but we can definitely link to it. 416 00:39:25,820 --> 00:39:30,240 That would be fine. But another thing that we can use is the Adobe Express web page. 417 00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:33,380 This can be used as a great way to pull projects together. 418 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,230 It can be used as a visual essay, um, a sort of more engaging report style. 419 00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:42,370 It does create a permalink, um, that students can then share out. 420 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:50,980 So we've had students create all kinds of different projects to have, uh, business marketing students create, uh, proposals using express web page. 421 00:39:50,980 --> 00:39:56,210 And it's a for like a pitch page, as much more visual, much more fun than like a PowerPoint, right. 422 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:58,900 There's still one property that's great is corporate or whatever. 423 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:06,819 But learning this and being able to create this to also for sharing out because this is an actual web page, 424 00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:09,820 even though we have we don't have to know any code whatsoever. 425 00:40:09,820 --> 00:40:11,640 Adobe does it all for us, which is great. 426 00:40:11,650 --> 00:40:17,229 It makes it look beautiful and engaging, and with the hyperlinks and everything with the buttons and all of that, um, 427 00:40:17,230 --> 00:40:24,210 which is super fun, but we've, uh, it gives students the ability to share their work out to the world and so they can post. 428 00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:27,940 Here's what I made using Adobe Express to LinkedIn. 429 00:40:28,390 --> 00:40:31,480 Um, you know, they can share it to an internship that they're applying to. 430 00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:35,740 It's one thing for them to have a note on their resume. 431 00:40:35,890 --> 00:40:40,150 Oh yeah, I know how to use their links for us. Great. What can you actually do with it? 432 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,170 Yeah, it's another thing for them to be able to show the products they can create. 433 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,780 So we've had students use we had, um, 434 00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:54,520 social work students use express to create research based infographics for their research class and then share them out. 435 00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:59,620 We have had students share out those infographics, and then they can come back to us and tell us, 436 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:05,140 hey, I was literally told the reason why I got the internship is because I. 437 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,240 Was able to show on LinkedIn what I was able to create with Adobe Express. 438 00:41:09,570 --> 00:41:12,990 And other students to necessarily do that. So that put me above and beyond, right? 439 00:41:13,140 --> 00:41:20,730 We're giving them a fantastic Auburn degree. We can also given these amazing content creation skills so they can really showcase what they're doing. 440 00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:27,300 This also works is a great, um, entry ePortfolio, um, you know, uh, platform. 441 00:41:27,690 --> 00:41:33,090 And then there's also Adobe Portfolio, which is a upper level, um, web based one. 442 00:41:33,210 --> 00:41:37,800 But express web page can be great for just getting into it. It can also be a great learning journal. 443 00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:43,390 Uh, we've also had students use it to, uh, maybe they're working on a semester long project. 444 00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:48,420 They would take a picture of their project, have some text explaining where they were at that project stage. 445 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,300 They added to their express web page throughout the semester. 446 00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:57,270 At the end of the semester, they already had this fantastic presentation of what they had done and that they could present from. 447 00:41:57,540 --> 00:42:05,790 So things like that is really good. Also, Study Abroad uses it for blogs and things like that, so it's easy to use web based, um, all of that. 448 00:42:05,790 --> 00:42:10,740 So let's try the web page. All right. So we're going to go back into express. 449 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,850 And I'm going to go back to the home screen. So we'll start fresh from the home screen. 450 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:25,559 Web page is sort of a separate entity. So what we can do is hit the little plus sign and then notice there's the web page, uh category over here. 451 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,289 We can click that. We can also just scroll down and look for web page. 452 00:42:30,290 --> 00:42:33,680 And all of these are actually the same product. 453 00:42:33,830 --> 00:42:37,160 They're just different templates to get you started. 454 00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:40,850 So you can kind of look through these and notice there is a learning journal. 455 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,319 There's an event microsite. There's also uh it works great for student clubs. 456 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,820 Or say you have an event and you want to post some stuff to a web page. 457 00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:58,480 This is a great sort of stopgap. Anything official from the university that needs to go on the university's website definitely follow that workflow. 458 00:42:58,490 --> 00:43:02,030 But this is for like temporary stuff, you know, that's just internal or whatever. 459 00:43:02,030 --> 00:43:05,479 It's great for that. So, um, I'm just going to choose. 460 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:10,650 You can choose any of these. I'm just going to choose the one that says web page, and I'm going to start from scratch. 461 00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:15,590 If you want to start from a template, you are welcome to. Um, but I'm going to choose web page. 462 00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:22,910 So the plus sign and then web page is where we went. And then they do have these templates that you can kind of preview. 463 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:32,970 Um wow. This one's very specific mid-century modern lookbook that my goodness I mean I love it, but yellow company story. 464 00:43:32,990 --> 00:43:38,810 Okay, great. So that would be good for the marketing students. Right. To do build their pitch from writing portfolio. 465 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,590 That's pretty cool. Uh, pizza menu. That'd be great for culinary students. 466 00:43:42,590 --> 00:43:48,230 Invent your own restaurant and tell us your menu. And why. Why did you come up with that construction proposal? 467 00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:55,550 Absolutely. Anything you have to bid or pitch or showcase, visual, um, essays, all this stuff, a research journal. 468 00:43:55,790 --> 00:43:59,220 So they've added tons more templates, which can be a bit overwhelming. 469 00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:03,530 I'm going to create from scratch. Okay. Just to make it simple for us to get started. 470 00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:08,930 So you can play around with the templates later if you would like um a cheese web page, create from scratch. 471 00:44:09,740 --> 00:44:14,180 And then once you choose create from scratch, you get sort of a simpler interface to start from. 472 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:21,650 And our learning journal today we're going to try to bring in our graphic that we created into this page. 473 00:44:22,010 --> 00:44:25,310 And then you can also bring in the video you created to this page. 474 00:44:25,610 --> 00:44:29,380 So this is something to use to help students, you know, culminate their projects. 475 00:44:29,390 --> 00:44:34,040 You could also use this as a presentation tool or whatever can be more engaging. 476 00:44:34,070 --> 00:44:40,790 Have people use it as sort of a visual syllabus to help students kind of see what how the course works, all that stuff. 477 00:44:41,210 --> 00:44:44,910 So let's add a photo and really you can add whatever you want. 478 00:44:44,930 --> 00:44:50,720 Again this brings you to that same media menu that's like stock photos if you want. 479 00:44:51,050 --> 00:44:55,070 Um, and we can even generate an AI image for our header. 480 00:44:55,070 --> 00:44:57,110 This is just the header of our website. 481 00:44:57,770 --> 00:45:04,489 And so, um, let's say, uh, we can even make, uh, see what it has under learning, but you can choose whatever you like. 482 00:45:04,490 --> 00:45:10,240 If you went in with sort of a theme. Um, I've seen airplanes, I've seen pirates, I've seen beach. 483 00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:13,670 So do whatever your theme is that you've been working on today. 484 00:45:14,750 --> 00:45:20,660 I'm going to do learning in general. Um, and I'll just pick one of these pictures. 485 00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:26,659 What's also nice is with these Adobe Stock images, it's, um, always high quality, 486 00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:31,639 good resolution and copyright, you know, is, you know, we have access to it. 487 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,970 The license is included. Don't have to worry about copyright. That is a huge thing for students as well. 488 00:45:36,980 --> 00:45:37,790 Really helpful. 489 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:47,870 And we should probably name our web page so we can name it like learning Journal, whatever you like or today's activity learning journal. 490 00:45:48,890 --> 00:45:53,470 I'm going to say Clay workshop. And then hit enter that. 491 00:45:53,590 --> 00:45:57,419 That'll name it. Remember, all of our stuff is in the Your Stuff folder. 492 00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:02,760 So now this is named inside the Your Stuff folder. Also express is web based by the way. 493 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,370 So it's saving as we go. 494 00:46:04,380 --> 00:46:12,180 When you're done working in express for the day, it is a good idea to just click back on that home button, which is the icon on the upper left. 495 00:46:12,180 --> 00:46:18,090 It just kind of forces your computer to do that final say before you lose your bedroom access going in the hallway, right. 496 00:46:19,140 --> 00:46:23,640 All right. So we can add a title so we can call this, uh, Learning Journal. 497 00:46:25,150 --> 00:46:29,350 And we can say, buy me or whatever you want. 498 00:46:30,010 --> 00:46:33,620 And then it says, scroll to start writing your story. 499 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:41,260 And that's really what Adobe is about, is about helping you tell your story, helping people add visuals, helping everyone be artistic. 500 00:46:41,470 --> 00:46:47,530 And my background is in instruction and my background is not in graphic design or anything like that. 501 00:46:47,740 --> 00:46:52,060 I'm all self-taught. So this this is these are all definitely possible things. 502 00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:59,920 Now with the web page we can add all kinds of things to it. We're what we're going to do is add our identity graphic that we created. 503 00:47:00,580 --> 00:47:06,400 So what is so neat is we have a little shortcut to the folder called your stuff right here. 504 00:47:07,210 --> 00:47:16,180 So we can click the Your Stuff folder. And then you should see your identity graphic that you created right here on the left hand side. 505 00:47:16,190 --> 00:47:21,190 So I clicked the plus sign here on the web page. And then I went to the Your Stuff folder. 506 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,100 Mhm. And then once you click there you should see your identity graphic. 507 00:47:27,940 --> 00:47:31,300 And then my other. Here's my real one. So I'm going to click that one. 508 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:37,500 And then saying, do you want to add it as a. Well we don't. We've only picked one image. 509 00:47:37,530 --> 00:47:41,910 Otherwise we could add it as a photo credit. If we had lots of images, we can just add his image. 510 00:47:42,870 --> 00:47:47,710 And now we have our identity graphic there. Then. 511 00:47:47,850 --> 00:47:52,200 So give that a try. And now we have this cool identity graphic. 512 00:47:54,090 --> 00:47:57,810 Now the other piece is for the video. 513 00:47:58,290 --> 00:48:02,730 If we click video then it wants a link. 514 00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:06,750 Not an embed code. We don't have to worry about embed code is going to do that part for us. 515 00:48:07,170 --> 00:48:13,860 But notice says hey, I only take links from express, YouTube or Vimeo. 516 00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:18,720 Okay, so those are just the qualities that it has to have in order to embed it. 517 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:25,130 However, we can link to whatever we want. So if you had to link to a Panopto video or something, you could do that. 518 00:48:25,140 --> 00:48:28,440 We just use the hyperlink feature, not the video feature. 519 00:48:28,650 --> 00:48:33,910 Now, this may not work today, but what you would do in Adobe Express. 520 00:48:34,050 --> 00:48:42,900 Let me go back to my video, um, that we created here, and I'm going to go back to just my stock video. 521 00:48:43,620 --> 00:48:49,560 Going to double tap. Yeah, I just opened a new tab so that I in in opened express again. 522 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,560 So that that way I could kind of go back and forth a little easier. 523 00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:57,450 That's a technique I like to use if I'm especially building the web page because you're pulling from other stuff. 524 00:48:58,230 --> 00:49:02,670 Now, um, your video needs to be shared to anyone with the link. 525 00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:09,330 Um, and, uh, then you can do the view only link is what we want. 526 00:49:09,330 --> 00:49:13,680 And that means anyone can access the file. No sign-in required. 527 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:18,400 So we want the view only link is what we want. And then I'll go ahead and try it. 528 00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:23,789 I'll create link. Sometimes though, it takes like an hour or two for the video to fully publish and process. 529 00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:27,720 So it may not be ready for us to embed on the web page, but we can still at it. 530 00:49:28,590 --> 00:49:32,640 So I'm going to do that and see it's thinking. So we'll give it a chance to think. 531 00:49:33,660 --> 00:49:38,340 But you can link to anything you want using the hyperlink buttons or hyperlink text. 532 00:49:38,340 --> 00:49:42,240 So that could be an option for us too. We'll see if it'll do it. 533 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:52,050 I did get it to work, um, doing this ahead of time, but I did notice it took it a little bit of time to finish processing and publishing. 534 00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:59,280 That's a that's a caveat of working with video. Okay. We have some pretty high expectations of video now that was been so easy for us to create. 535 00:49:59,460 --> 00:50:07,900 But publishing video and hosting it and all of that is it's a significant processing and storage thing that it's doing. 536 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:07,983 Yeah. So you're saying that you can have that and the length of the video from myself, you have to link it with the you are correct. 537 00:50:16,950 --> 00:50:19,950 I'm not going to be surprised if it doesn't work though. We'll see what happens. Yeah. 538 00:50:19,950 --> 00:50:23,640 It says uh can't can't do it yet. It's because it hasn't processed it yet. 539 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,940 But what we can do is we can add it as a, uh, uh, button. 540 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:38,160 So I can add it as a hyperlinked button. And so if I click the button here I can create a button that says video. 541 00:50:38,580 --> 00:50:42,720 And I can paste that same view only uh link. 542 00:50:43,290 --> 00:50:46,740 And then I can center this on this page if I want. Hit save. 543 00:50:48,010 --> 00:50:54,010 And when you're working on a web page, it's a good idea to kind of check to see how is it looking, um, in real life, 544 00:50:54,010 --> 00:50:58,640 like we're in the edit mode right now, we want to see what does it look like when it's actually published. 545 00:50:58,660 --> 00:51:03,180 We haven't published this page yet, so this page is still in edit mode. 546 00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:09,880 I'm the only one who can see it at this time, but there's a little eyeball up here that lets you preview your page. 547 00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,200 So good web design involves also checking your site. 548 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,890 Making it sure looks the way you want it to before you publish it. 549 00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:21,819 So we can preview this site and see how does it look. 550 00:51:21,820 --> 00:51:28,510 Learning Journal by me. This is how it's going to look. If anybody just comes to my page after I publish it, here's my graphic. 551 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:34,810 And then if I click the video now, it's just going to open a video to, uh, in the browser. 552 00:51:34,810 --> 00:51:38,680 And anybody can view this. So it's working. The link is working. 553 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:43,840 It just hasn't processed fully enough for it to be embedded. So that's the trick with that one. 554 00:51:44,650 --> 00:51:52,150 So you can give that a try. And then to get out of this we'll just click click out of it. 555 00:51:52,570 --> 00:51:57,129 But we could go full screen two which is pretty fun. 556 00:51:57,130 --> 00:52:00,130 So we'll click out of that. Thanks for viewing. Great. 557 00:52:00,130 --> 00:52:03,220 Thank you. Oh it's the zoom thing is hiding my x. 558 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:14,410 Here we go. All right. So that is uh the web page feature or and that you can work on um, and you can add things to it and so on. 559 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,910 And then the trick is we want to get back out of that preview mode. 560 00:52:18,910 --> 00:52:21,130 We'll back in edit mode. We'll click the little x. 561 00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:28,990 The trick is always when you're ready to publish your page, you have to hit the share button publish to web. 562 00:52:29,110 --> 00:52:34,360 So this is a step that students especially forget. They think, oh well, I'm just working on my web page. 563 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:40,930 Everybody can see it. Not until you publish it. We need the public link that is posted to canvas. 564 00:52:41,110 --> 00:52:46,360 Okay, so the students would turn in a URL and it would be the published URL. 565 00:52:46,750 --> 00:52:50,500 And by the way, we have videos and all of this stuff. Like if you want your shoes, use a web page. 566 00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:55,450 We take them all the way through how to create it, how to log in, how to create it, how to publish, how to turn it into canvas. 567 00:52:55,750 --> 00:53:01,480 So we have all of that. But what you would do is hit publish to web and make sure the title looks good to you. 568 00:53:01,630 --> 00:53:07,750 Notice what it did? It gave credit to the stock image that I included automatically. 569 00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:13,000 So that's teaching students, right? Like good media attribution which is fantastic. 570 00:53:13,420 --> 00:53:18,340 We just hit create link. We have some other options. We don't want a password on this website or nothing like that. 571 00:53:18,340 --> 00:53:23,020 So we just leave it alone, create link and then it'll say publishing. 572 00:53:23,260 --> 00:53:30,850 And it's going to give us a public URL. And it's basically kind of like an unlisted website, okay. 573 00:53:30,850 --> 00:53:34,600 Because it's giving us sort of this unlisted express URL. 574 00:53:34,990 --> 00:53:38,379 And just to prove to you it is a public link, we can copy it. 575 00:53:38,380 --> 00:53:42,880 We can make a new tab, paste it. This is what our page looks like. 576 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,880 If people just randomly come to it or we send them the link. 577 00:53:46,270 --> 00:53:49,389 And really for people to see this, they have to have the link, right? 578 00:53:49,390 --> 00:53:52,360 So that's why it's kind of like an unlisted, uh, web page. 579 00:53:52,690 --> 00:54:01,629 And then what you may have noticed is what I do is I use the RB shortener to then get people to this web page. 580 00:54:01,630 --> 00:54:05,230 So if you notice on the presentation we have the RB short link. 581 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:12,129 But if you look up at the URL, it's that normal express URL that's public, but it's not very friendly. 582 00:54:12,130 --> 00:54:16,510 And I don't have the I don't get any choices in how to change this. 583 00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:20,350 So I use this in conjunction with the RB shortener a lot. 584 00:54:20,770 --> 00:54:29,559 This also works really good, is like a research poster presentation, uh, side website because you can add more to it. 585 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:35,230 You can use the RB shortener to direct people to more information that you could not fit on your poster. 586 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,469 Or if you're at a conference, you can also get the QR code. 587 00:54:38,470 --> 00:54:41,290 People can scan it, access your website. 588 00:54:41,770 --> 00:54:50,380 Um, so this is another way that I that you can kind of use our tech tools together to help make it, um, easier to access and that sort of thing. 589 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,860 Okay. All right. Let's see how we're doing on time. 590 00:54:53,860 --> 00:54:58,719 Oh, it's about time for us to go. So let me close and I'm going to stick around a little bit. 591 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:03,820 If anybody has a little extra time and would like to stick around and chat or whatever, happy to. 592 00:55:04,210 --> 00:55:09,610 Um, but I'm going to close by showing you there's some additional resources here on the presentation. 593 00:55:10,090 --> 00:55:11,950 Um, there's some sample assignments. 594 00:55:11,950 --> 00:55:18,040 I mentioned some of those before, but there's like visuals here if you want to look at some of the sample assignments. 595 00:55:18,430 --> 00:55:25,540 We also have our Adobe Helpdesk of Consultants who can answer questions for you and your students, like after hours and so on. 596 00:55:25,990 --> 00:55:31,870 Um, that's information is just on our Adobe Creative Space website, and you can see the schedule here. 597 00:55:31,870 --> 00:55:37,900 It's looking a little thin because we're coming up on graduation, so, uh, that'll be filled up in a couple of weeks. 598 00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:41,950 That'll be good. And we have tons of resources here for getting started. 599 00:55:42,250 --> 00:55:46,120 Um, in Adobe and all of that. We do, uh, workshops. 600 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:53,550 Um, those are already posted. The library homepage. Um, you know, those are open to all students, faculty and staff as well. 601 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,840 Um, and we also have on our instructional content page. 602 00:55:58,110 --> 00:56:01,580 All of our workshops are recorded. These are Panopto videos. 603 00:56:01,590 --> 00:56:06,240 Feel free to embed this in your canvas course. To help students get started. 604 00:56:06,270 --> 00:56:12,450 You can say, hey, here's a video tells you how to log in, how to use express, how to publish, how to turn in your assignment. 605 00:56:12,810 --> 00:56:17,129 And so it's already there. Or we've done custom videos for people. 606 00:56:17,130 --> 00:56:20,520 If you have something that's not present here, we can work with you on that. 607 00:56:20,850 --> 00:56:24,000 Um, you're welcome to use any of our materials to help you. 608 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:31,950 And then Adobe has lots of resources as well. Of particular note are these digital badges that students can earn. 609 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,909 And if they create something like the graphic that you guys created, 610 00:56:35,910 --> 00:56:43,080 if you use the AI to create an avatar that would fulfill one of these badges and they just create something, they turn it in. 611 00:56:43,230 --> 00:56:47,520 Somebody in Adobe actually reviews it and approves it or doesn't approve it. 612 00:56:47,850 --> 00:56:51,090 Um, but if they follow the parameters, it'll get approved, no problem. 613 00:56:51,390 --> 00:56:57,180 And so badging is something that you can integrate into your courses as well, because they're probably creating a project anyway. 614 00:56:57,180 --> 00:56:58,650 They might as well also get a badge. 615 00:56:59,130 --> 00:57:06,330 Um, and then of course, uh, we have all kinds of other opportunities for students, but those are the main things I wanted to share with you today. 616 00:57:06,540 --> 00:57:10,990 And I am very appreciative that y'all took some time before, uh, classes started. 617 00:57:11,010 --> 00:57:15,540 I know it's a very busy time of year, uh, to come and learn a little bit more about integrating express, 618 00:57:15,810 --> 00:57:19,590 and I'm happy to help, um, however I can, but thank you all so much.
