MicroLearning Project

This page provides a complete, detailed overview of my MicroLearning project, applicable learning theory principles, and a detailed reflection.

Learning Canva

I learned to use Canva throughout this Instructional Design course. The link to Canva is: https://www.canva.com/.

 

Canva is a graphic design tool that allows users to make professional and aesthetically pleasing visuals. Furthermore, it allows teachers to work with advanced features for free, which is something I appreciate deeply. Throughout my learning of this tool, three learning theories were employed. They are described in the infographic shown below, made on Canva, of course. 

More information about each learning theory:
