The Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) team recently wrapped up our Professional Learning Community (PLC) focused on Canva. Each participant received a 1 year license to Canva Team, a very capable, collaborative, online graphics creation platform. One of its strengths is suggesting templates, themes, and imagery to get started, which can inspire beginners and advanced designers alike to create appealing and effective graphics to inform and promote their objective.
As a part of being in the Canva PLC and receiving a 1 year paid license, participants were asked to complete milestones such as attend a required Canva PLC Kick Off Orientation and present at a capstone Showcase of their work and audience feedback. In between we offered multiple synchronous check-in opportunities as well as an asynchronous Google Group. The purpose of the Google Group, essentially an email list serv, was to grow a community of learning, receive and respond to questions to support each other in the exploration and inspiration while using Canva. Thank you everyone who was interested in participating and congratulations to those who successfully completed the requirements of the Canva PLC!
