We have updated all of the Canva courses with district created tutorial videos rather than the stock Canva ones to give you a better, more consistent experience.
We have also updated the format/title of the following sessions. Because of these updates and changes, you may take these courses even if you had taken the previous ones.
Back to the Basics is now Getting to Know Canva
Viral Video Creation is now Creating Videos in Canva
Leveraging AI is now Using Canva AI
We have also updated the Accessibility Courses. They are now two separate course with the iPad Course updated for iOS26+ and the Chromebook Course reflecting some recent changes in the ChromeOS. That means you can take these now, even if you have taken them in the past!
Because of our migration to GoogleAI (Gemini/NotebookLM), we are retiring the SchoolAI Course. There is a brand new in person Google AI course this summer! It will also run once in the fall and once in the spring.
The following courses are only available to those that haven't taken them before since there are no significant updates/changes:
Apple Teacher (Mac/iPad), Apple Classroom Bootcamp, Canva Bringing Stories to Life, & Six Tips Schoology Success.
