Sample answer
“In my course at the Accademia di Belle Arti, I integrated Adobe XD to teach students about user interface design. I structured a project where they had to create prototypes for a mobile app. The students reported a 30% increase in their confidence with digital tools, and many expressed that the hands-on experience was invaluable for their portfolios. I learned the importance of continuous feedback and iterations in the learning process.”
