Preface Introduction

Canva is an online graphic design application platform headquartered in Sydney, founded in 2012. If we have a simple overview, Canva provides an image design tool that is simpler (although with fewer features) than Photoshop. Canva is an online design tool that I really like, very convenient and easy to use. For most design needs, such as designing posters, flyers, invitations, etc., Canva tool can basically meet them. You don’t need to master certain design software to quickly create good designs.

Canva Education Backend Management

Didn’t we register a Canva account with a school email address that doesn’t have Canva education qualifications before? Now, Canva has officially authorized our unqualified account to have education version qualifications.

We can log in to our account and click on the avatar settings to find the backend page. Then, we can click on the billing and subscription plan, and we will see the display of Canva Education Edition, which costs 0 US dollars per month. We see SSO configuration and so on.

We can also create teams without restrictions and assign teachers. Teachers can create classes and invite students to join their own classes.

Add Domain Name

Our understanding of this feature is that it allows for the addition of other domains and the sharing of Canva Education qualifications. Currently, testing on this site is still awaiting review and updates.
