Description: In this 45-minute webinar, TVIs and educators will see how Canva Pro can be used to create meaningful tactile graphics and CVI visuals for blind and visually impaired students. The presenter will walk through key Canva features and demonstrate how to design graphics specifically optimized for printing on swell paper as well as how to work with .PRN files for use with ViewPlus embossers. Attendees will learn the process, from designing in Canva to outputting finished tactile materials ready for use in the classroom. This webinar is especially valuable for educators who want to provide students with high quality accessible materials but may not consider themselves naturally artistic, as Canva’s intuitive tools make professional looking results achievable for everyone.
