Introduction: Transform Your Slides with AI-Powered Design
What if your next presentation built itself—perfect fonts, polished visuals, and stunning layouts—while you sipped your coffee? That’s the promise of Canva’s AI Magic Studio, and it’s exactly what you’ll explore in Professional Presentations: Canva AI Magic Studio, led by Jana Porter and offered through SchoolDay Academy (powered by Coursera).
This isn’t the Canva you already know—it’s the next generation of creative power. With AI-driven design tools like Magic Design, Magic Grab, and Magic Eraser, you can type a simple idea and watch Canva build a fully designed presentation in seconds. Then, with a few guided tweaks, you’ll refine it into something that looks like it came from a professional design team—without ever leaving your desk.
In this one-hour, hands-on Guided Project, you’ll learn how to combine your teaching creativity with Canva’s AI precision to craft AI-powered presentations that grab attention and hold it. You’ll finish the course with a fully branded, AI-generated presentation—and a new secret weapon for every lesson, PD, or student showcase you create.
Because once you experience Canva’s AI Magic Studio, you’ll never design the same way again.
