Khan Academy, Adobe Partner to Provide Free Learning Resources
Adobe and Khan Academy have teamed up for the development of “new,
free online learning resources that foster creative and critical
thinking skills, helping all students reach their potential and
ultimately, be better prepared for college and career pathways.” As
part of the effort, Khan has named Adobe its creative partner. Adobe
will contribute $1 million toward the development of content.
One of the early results of the partnership is a new course on the
Adobe Exchange called Teach
Creativity with Adobe and Khan Academy. The course includes “more
than 20 lessons, a hands on assignment, and a certificate for 20
accredited professional learning hours. Throughout the year ahead,
Khan Academy will be adding content in their teacher PD courses
focusing on the importance of creative thinking and communication in
STEM. Additionally, they will be creating 10 new videos and articles
teaching students the importance of creative problem-solving.”
It also includes 100
free lesson plans for multiple grade levels and subjects.

education blog.
