They also viewed Canva as helpful in improving the efficiency of content creation and in enhancing the quality of visual outputs for academic assignments and other activities. In addition, the results indicated that Canva contributed to the development of students’ visual communication skills and supported their broader digital literacy. Overall, the study concluded that Canva had strong potential as an educational tool that could facilitate students’ academic and non-academic activities while improving their ability to create effective and visually engaging content.
