Canva Whiteboard 2 Hour Online Course

Course Overview

Requirements

There are two versions of Canva — paid (pro) and free. This course can be attended by people who have either account. While Canva can be accessed on both desktop and mobile, for this course learners will need to access it on desktop as this has all features available.

Learners will need to set up an account in Canva before the session to be able to create a whiteboard. However no previous experience using Canva is needed for this intro session.

The benefits

Canva is an intuitive, easy-to-use design software. You can use Canva to design a multitude of things - anything from social media posts to presentations to websites. 

You can use Canva to create professional-looking Whiteboards that you can easily share with colleagues or during an online meeting. Canva's Whiteboards are a great alternative to Google's Jamboard, which is due to be discontinued at the end of 2024.

The people you share it with don't need a Canva account to access it - anyone with the link can edit without logging in if they access it from a desktop browser. You'll see them as a 'guest'. On mobile, they'll need to log in or sign up to edit.

What you will learn

By the end of this two-hour session, you will be able to:

• Create a Whiteboard in Canva
• Add elements (such as text, a logo or images) to your Whiteboard and lock them into place (so they can't be accidentally moved)
• Understand the various sharing elements in Canva
