Canva is a website design platform created in 2013 that is attempting to compete with Microsoft Office.  It can help create documents, presentations, posters, videos, and so much more. Canva has two user services available. Canva Free is a free to use service that contains free templates, images, text, and other options. Most users will be able to do everything they need using the free service. Canva Pro is a paid for service that contains everything from Canva Free plus additional assets. Students and faculty can access the education version of pro when signing up with their .edu email address. This guide provides resources to three of the most common used designs; Docs, Presentations, and Videos.
