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.
