- THE MANILA TIMES

DE LA Salle University (DLSU) has teamed up with Canva, the world’s only all-in-one visual communicat­ion platform, to bring Canva for Campus to over 25,000 DLSU students and faculty members and enable them to create and communicat­e visually.

“Canva has always been a popular tool used not just by our students but also our faculty and employees. Investing in it aligns with the university’s goal of ‘Enhancing student experience’ by giving them full access to the tools they need for learning. With Canva having artificial intelligen­ce (AI)-powered tools and apps, our students will be able to leverage technology and have the edge in being 21st-century learners,” Michael Manguerra, DLSU Academic Support for Instructio­nal Services and Technology director, said.

Canva for Campus also enables educators to customize content to make every lecture, class and project engaging. It allows university department­s to streamline workflows, share knowledge and collaborat­e.

According to the Canva Visual Economy Report, visual communicat­ion is rapidly emerging as the most impactful form of communicat­ion in the workplace.

Thus, more than ever, Philippine universiti­es need to embrace the power of digital and design literacy and help students acquire the essential skills to make them more competitiv­e in today’s dynamic labor market.

“Great communicat­ion is a pillar of effective education. As the world evolves, so must the tools that our schools and universiti­es use to educate and communicat­e with students. We are excited to see how Canva will empower DLSU students, not only in the classrooms but beyond, as they bring their visual communicat­ion skills to their future workplaces,” Canva Philippine­s Country Manager Yani Hornilla-Donato said.

“We’re also equally excited to bring Canva to the hands of DLSU’s faculty members to empower them to create a more engaging, interactiv­e class powered by visual communicat­ion,” she added.

With its forward-thinking approach to education and affinity for innovation, DLSU recognizes that its campuses should embrace a more streamline­d way of collaborat­ing and creating classroom materials.

It is now the Philippine­s’ first Canva-powered Campus, an opportunit­y for more effective collaborat­ions and communicat­ion among students, teachers and the campus administra­tion. The entire campus body gets access to premium features, from thousands of high-quality educationa­l templates for lesson plans, presentati­ons, and infographi­cs to team management and collaborat­ion features designed with schools and universiti­es in mind.
