Very useful for the one who is learning it for the first time. well explained and guided. But if you are acquainted with Canva, i would suggest you to find another project. This was very basic.

To be a good Editor, this project isnโt much enough at all. Itโs just a basic idea how to start designing on Canva. Need to add more or dive into deep more.

The lecture is presented in a manner that is simple and easy to understand. I would have wanted to learn more about how to use Canva when creating other common projects, like an infographic perhaps.

The tool implemented to learn the basics of Canva is amazing. It saves you time and puts you right there hands on the job and you'll learn very very fast. I guess is the best way to learn that I've ever experienced. It was awesome!!!

It's a very understandable way of learning and I enjoyed the experience. The only issue with this course for me would be operating the rhyme software in order to do the tasks simultaneously since it was very slow and lagged quite often. Apart from that, very insightful for a beginner and would recommend if that problem is fixed.

The course was helpful in general, but I didn't like the Rhyme tool since it kept freezing and slowly moving, I've found it much easier and faster to navigate two taps.
The information in the video was pretty easy to follow and navigate in separate tap than use the Rhyme tool.

please update the course videos. because canva is updated now. it allows you to choose the text animation. and also I think you haven't covered the topic of locking an element by using the lock mode.

This class seems outdated. Canva has moved all sorts of tools and it was very hard to follow along without pausing and spending a lot of time searching for what was needed.

Found the course useful. If you know your way round Canva then this could be a useful refresher.
Some of the Menu's & layouts have changed within the Canva platform compared to the course content. This does not in any way hinder what is being taught but may slightly confuse students who have never been on the Canva platform before. Teacher guides you at about the right pace without needing to rewind the videos to play catch-up.

I loved this course. I learn how it works canvas in just two hours (because I am not an english native speaker I needed to stop few times). the teacher's explanations are very clear, the project allows you to watch the video, stop it if you missed something, but most important you can practice on the screen at what the teacher is explaining, at the same time.

Very easy if you have a general background of computers already. The instructor is good at going through all the simple steps to create a product. I would say this is not intensive and it's a good start before you begin to create your own social media graphics.

Easy clean and Clear I like it it's short though, I would Suggest one extra project which is advanced like includes color, blending and shapes I think would be fun and helpful.
But this course is pretty and amazingly relaxing.
