Enhanced Creative Cloud Options for Students and Teachers

WEDNESDAY 29 MAY 2013 - MEDIA ALERT
Adobe Announces Enhanced Creative Cloud Options for Students and Teachers in Australia and New Zealand

The full range of Adobe® Creative Cloud™ options are now available to students and teachers in Australia and New Zealand, including Creative Cloud Student Teacher Edition.

For educational institutions, Creative Cloud for teams and Creative Cloud for enterprise options are now available through a new plan called Education Enterprise Agreement.

“In a recent survey conducted across Australia and New Zealand, 92% of educators who responded said they felt technology and digital tools played an important role in fostering creativity amongst students,” said Wayne Weisse, Adobe’s Education Business Manager for Asia Pacific.

“We know that creativity is no longer an elective for educators and students. It is a mandatory requirement for a successful future.

“As new features and updates are released through Creative Cloud, students and educators will be able to keep up to date with the most leading-edge technology and features, with access to the latest tools for career success.”

Adobe solutions are used extensively in schools and institutions across Australia and New Zealand. In addition to helping students with creative thinking, creating projects, portfolios and resumes, the software is also used extensively by educators to help develop more engaging, rich-media curricula, and to improve collaborative working skills among students.

Adobe recently announced it will focus its creative software development efforts on the Creative Cloud offering moving forward. While Adobe Creative Suite® 6 products will continue to be supported and available for purchase, the company has no plans for future releases of Creative Suite or other CS products.

New Licensing Programme for Education

Adobe’s new licensing option for primary, secondary, and higher education institutions, the Education Enterprise Agreement, is an easy-to-manage, term-based licensing programme that gives educational institutions access to the new CC apps.

“This programme helps give our institutional customers the creative tools they need to be more productive, foster creativity in teaching and learning, and help their students develop essential digital communication skills,” said Mr Weiss. “During the term of the license, the institution can access all the product features and updates released by Adobe.”

Creative Cloud for individuals includes a membership for students and teachers, Creative Cloud Student Teacher Edition. Available at a special promotional price of $AUD 14.99 per month for a 12 month subscription until 25 June 2013, it is available on https://creative.adobe.com/plans?plan=edu.

In addition to Education Enterprise Agreement, Creative Cloud for enterprises under an Enterprise Term Licensing Agreement provides the best coverage model for institution-wide access to Creative Cloud apps and services.
