Are you using the entire free Adobe Visual Design curriculum as a year-long course? If not, which parts of the curriculum do you use?

Adobe Visual Design Curriculum is really important to use it or go on it's steps for any instructor.

The Visual design and the Digital design series became an important check for staff when it comes to keeping up to date our two year course for 16 to 18 year old students. Love your approach to education, this was not the usual "tons of tutorials leading somewhere if lucky", rather "step by step, building skills that matter". Thanks a lot!

Thanks.for the post

I will check that out. I think students must be using it as a full year curriculum right now

Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. We designed the curriculum so it can be used year long or in bits and pieces. If you find any projects or tutorials particularly useful or ones that you don't we'd love that feedback as well so we can continue to refine and improve them in the future.

Cheers,

I use bits and pieces but not the tutorials.

Our instructors use pieces of this curriculum but not all of it.

I have shared this with other educators but I do not think they are using it as a full year curriculum right now. As mentioned before, using it in bits at pieces I am sure.

I have used it in the past but like Judy I don't use it letter for letter.

I am going to combine some of the Adobe Visual Design Curriculum with a new book that I found out about:

Adobe Creative Suite 5 ACA Certification Preparation: Featuring Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop, 1st Edition

by Debbie Keller
ISBN-10: 111153358X ISBN-13: 9781111533588
256 Pages PB

The ACA exam is almost 100% Photoshop, so that is my main focus.

 Have you been successful using the curriculum in preparing your students for the ACA certification or what did you use?

I use most of it, but I don't follow it letter-for-letter. I infuse other quickie projects. The student hand-outs are terrific.
