Designed for first‑time users, the session will provide step‑by‑step guidance to using Canva. You can follow along with the instructor to develop your own research‑related visual, and gain practical skills that you can apply to design research presentations, posters, and communications.

Led by Tamika Regnier, Research Support Officer in Research, Development & Support, you will learn how to:

• Access and navigate the Canva platform
