CANVA as a Digital Tool for Effective Student Learning Experience

Abstract

In the current era of rapid technological advancements, educators are actively seeking appropriate digital multimedia tools to enhance students' learning experiences. Access to such resources is crucial for preparing students for the job market and ensuring their success. Digital note-taking has become a popular method of engagement, organizing, and composing comprehensible notes. The emergence of mobile technology has facilitated the shift from traditional note-taking to "digital note-taking." This study explores the effects of digital note-taking using CANVA, a popular digital tool, on students' academic achievement levels. CANVA for Education provides educators with a user-friendly platform for creating visually appealing and collaborative learning resources. It promotes project-based learning, enhances creativity and collaboration skills, and offers readily accessible features that contribute to a positive learning environment. This study aims to examine whether using CANVA significantly impacts students' performance compared to non-CANVA approaches. Additionally, it seeks to gather students' perspectives on the integration of CANVA for an effective learning experience. The study incorporates training, assistance, and feedback through questionnaires to evaluate the effectiveness of CANVA as a note-taking and teaching tool. The results show that the majority of students familiarized themselves with CANVA and preferred it over Microsoft PowerPoint for creating comprehensive and visually appealing notes. The findings suggest that CANVA enhances engagement, comprehension, and cognitive development during class activities, leading to positive learning outcomes. This study contributes to understanding the benefits of using CANVA as a digital tool for effective notetaking and teaching in classroom activities.
