Adobe offers Creative Suite to Vassar students for free

FROM ADOBE:

Dear Students & Faculty,

As a result of campus closure, student access to Adobe Creative Cloud in labs and classrooms is not available. Adobe has provided temporary at-home access for impacted students and faculty, so that they can continue their work remotely. Please follow the instructions below to enable access to Creative Cloud Desktop Apps on your personal device.

  • Visit https://creativecloud.adobe.com and use your school credentials to sign in.
  • If prompted, select Company or School Account and then enter your password. Or provide your credentials in your school’s login screen.
  • From the Creative Cloud website, browse for and download your desired app. Click Apps on the top of the page to view all apps.

For more information on how to download or install apps, see Download and Install Creative Cloud apps.

  2. If the Google Meet icon isn’t shown, click on “Search view: Everything.”
  3. Click on the Google Meet icon.
  4. Click on “Join or start a meeting.”
  5. Give your meeting a name.
  6. Allow Google Meet to access your camera and microphone.
  7. Click the “Join now” button.
  8. Click on “Add people.”
  9. Click on “Copy joining info.”
  10. Send or provide the joining info to your students.

Getting an Attendance List from your Zoom Meeting

You can get a record of who participated in your Zoom meeting by going to the Zoom web portal. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to the portal at vassar.zoom.us, using your Vassar username and password.
  2. In the sidebar, click on Reports.
  3. Choose to see the Usage reports.
  4. Set the range of dates in which you want to see reports, then click on the Search button.
  5. Identify the meeting in question and click on the number under the Participants heading.
  6. View the list of participants for that meeting. Note that some participants might have used a pseudonym and that for any who joined by phone, only the phone number will appear.)

The Attentiveness score is determined by the amount of time the participant spent with a different window being the active window.
