Question

Home Education and Remote Learning with Adobe

I am a home educator and considered using Adobe to begin some basic sessions with my 14 yo. This means that I am not part of any education program or school program, but would like to be able to utilise any assistance available along those same lines.

 

I know that Behance, Portfolio and the various edex.adobe resources are available, and that there is Adobe CS4 out there, but there is nothing that seems to betailored to this specific 'home education' approach. There are many online lessons structures to bring into this, as with Khan Academy or YouTube, but I think the missing element is how to go about gaining access to the software.

 

Is it possible to get access to the Adobe suite as a remote student, without being part of an existing school system?

 

I am also aware that a lot of schools and educators have had to move their learning to a remote version for some students, due to covid, but this is not a part of that process either.

 

I was hoping that the comunity had some experience or guidance around this approach.

here are the requirements to qualify for an education license, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html

 

and that's only applicable to current (and 1 previous from current) adobe software/versions.  older adobe licenses are no longer (legally) available.

Thank you for the reply. I checked those eligibility requirements and they are specific to the US. As a UK home educator, I have to assume it would not apply.

I also see your point about older licenses and conceed my information is way out of date there.

I suggest contacting Adobe directly and asking them. As volunteers but not Adobe employees, there's a lot we simply don't know.
