Digital Media Services

Canva-Based Projects

Use Canva to create engaging assignments, activities, and student projects. Student-created infographics, presentations, videos, and research posters can become valuable portfolio pieces that showcase their communication skills, creativity, and subject-matter expertise to future employers.


Student Access to Canva Pro

All Xavier students now have free access to Canva Pro through Xavier's Canva Enterprise account. Digital Media Services can help students get started with Canva basics, either through an in-person session or pre-recorded tutorials tailored specifically to your class and project.

Scaffold Projects with Custom Templates

Digital Media Services can create custom Canva templates for your course projects. A well-designed template gives students a structured starting point, reducing blank-page overwhelm while allowing them to focus on communicating their ideas clearly and developing visual communication skills.

Templates can scaffold assignments with built-in content prompts, required sections, and design criteria aligned with your project requirements or rubric.
