Creating Educational Content with Canva

Are you a teacher, student, or education professional who wants to create engaging and professional teaching materials without needing advanced design skills? This course will teach you how to use Canva, one of the most popular and user-friendly design tools, to create high-quality educational content.

In this course, you will learn how to design posters, presentations, infographics, worksheets, classroom materials, and short educational videos that capture students’ attention and improve learning outcomes. We will start by exploring Canva’s interface, templates, and essential tools, so you feel confident navigating the platform. You will then apply key design principles such as balance, alignment, contrast, and white space to make your materials visually appealing and effective.

The course is hands-on: you will complete multiple practical projects, including a fully designed educational poster, a 6–10 slide teaching presentation, an infographic, and a 20–30 second short educational video. Each section includes step-by-step instructions, examples, and activities so that you can apply what you learn immediately.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create professional-looking materials for classroom teaching, online learning, or social media educational content. No prior design experience is required — all you need is a free Canva account, basic computer skills, and a willingness to create.
