Online graphic design platform Canva has unveiled Canva for Campus, a brand-new premium membership for schools and universities. The subscription grants faculty, staff, and university administrators access to Canva's extensive toolkit and educational and professional templates for reports, presentations, and more.
Pricing for the new subscription varies, depending on the total student body size. For example, if a college or university has a student population of 5,000 and purchases 60 staff licenses, all students get free access.
Canva for Campus features "Brand Kits," allowing users to upload their brand's fonts, colors, and logos to generate pre-made branded templates for newsletters, social media postings, and student enrollment paperwork. Students can complete posters, projects, videos, and more with Canva's unique set of features. To control staff and student access, administrators can implement a single sign-on (SSO) login option.
