TheAdobe Creative Space of the Innovation & Research Commons is an open-access learning space for Auburn students, faculty, and staff dedicated to providing Auburn students with digital creation skills and technology. This area, as well as online resources here, promote the digital literacy of our students to encourage their success both in their coursework and in their careers. Creative co-working space and computing is available in the Adobe Creative Space on a first-come first-serve basis with priority given to users actively working in Adobe Creative Cloud; instructional sessions by I&RC staff have first priority. While staff may access our online resources, the focus of our mission is to support the academic integration of Adobe Creative Cloud by students and faculty in support of the Office of the Provost's Adobe Creative Campus initiative.
Computers in the Adobe Creative Space and in the I&RC have Adobe Creative Cloud applications already installed via a Shared Lab license, which allows users to access them on those machines only, via an Adobe ID including a 'free' Adobe ID that can be created on the spot. If accessing Adobe apps via a 'free' Adobe ID, users will need to save any created files in other storage such as Box or OneDrive. Students are encouraged not to use the 'free' Adobe ID and to request their Auburn Adobe subscription at:
adobe.auburn.edu.
After requesting a subscription and receiving a confirmation email, download the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App to your personal computer; sign in with "Enterprise" or "Company/School" Adobe ID and use your AU login. Instructions from OIT are available on the Adobe Auburn web site.
In-person and/or online Zoom Room assistance is available. Adobe Student Assistant Consultants are available in the Adobe Creative Space and/or online in an Adobe Help Zoom Room to assist users in learning skills to complete academic projects using Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
Access the Adobe Help Desk and/or Adobe Help Zoom room at:
aub.ie/adobehelp during the posted hours of the Adobe Help Desk Calendar. University-recognized holidays and library hours may affect these hours and schedules are subject to change. Consultations are first-come, first-serve . Only one user at a time will be admitted to the meeting or assisted in person. Help sessions may have a maximum time of 30 minutes.
All consultants can assist with Adobe Express. See the list of consultants and their additional areas of specialty below. It is advised to match the assistance you need with the consultant who lists skills in that area for the best experience and visit the Adobe Help Desk in person or via Zoom at the time they are listed on the calendar. See the left sidebar for the calendar and Zoom room link.
