What is the tool? 

Canva is a graphic design platform. It is intuitive, with easy-to-use features like drag-and-drop tools or templates. This is useful for educators, students, businesses or personal projects.

What can it do for us? 

This platform is versatile and can be used to create presentations, mind maps, logos, videos, and more. It also has a library of royalty-free photos, videos, graphics, and other elements. There are AI components, including Magic Write (for copywriting), Magic Media (for generating images and videos), and Dream Lab (for image generation), but I have not used these features.

Thanks to a partnership between UW-IT and University Marketing & Communications, starting April 1, all UW students, staff, and faculty will have access to the Canva design platform at no cost to you or your units. Click the Canva - UW Brand link below to learn more.
