Readability Matters at the Adobe Education Leader’s Summit
Marjorie Jordan, Readability Matters Founder, joined partners Rick Treitman of Adobe, Ben D. Sawyer of the University of Central Florida, and Shelley Rodrigo of the University of Arizona to present their collective readability work at the virtual Adobe Education Leader’s Summit. The Adobe Education team and fellow educators from around the globe joined together to learn more about Adobe products, provide feedback, and share classroom insights.
The team presented their work in the digital reading space, discussing relevant research, the new Virtual Readability Lab (see below), and the University of Arizona’s program use of it. The newly launched program at U of A uses the VRL to introduce freshmen to the opportunity to enhance readability.
