Adding Canva Content

Visually appealing presentations have the power to captivate an audience and make the learning experience significantly more engaging. Nimbu's Canva Integration allows you to embed your professional designs directly into the system to be used as core learning material. Because this feature uses live embedding, any edits you make within the Canva platform will automatically reflect inside Nimbu. This ensures your students always have access to the latest version of your visual aids without requiring you to re-upload files.

Step 6: Configure Canva Settings

Once the embed link is pasted, configure the visibility and completion settings:

  1. Visibility: Select who can access this Canva design:
    • Trainer & Student: Both trainers and students can view this design (default and most common setting)
