Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively use these resources to create engaging and visually appealing teaching materials, as well as how to incorporate them into their students' learning experiences.

Throughout the workshop, participants will learn the basics of Canva and Book Creator, including how to navigate the platform, how to choose the appropriate templates, and how to use the various design tools to create engaging visuals.
