CALGARY, AB – Lumio, the digital learning tool used by millions of teachers and students worldwide, is pleased to announce its integration with Canva for Education. This new integration allows teachers to seamlessly add Canva designs to Lumio, merging the power of Canva’s visual communication platform with Lumio’s ability to add interactivity for engaging, dynamic lessons.
The integration offers educators’ free access to export and upload Canva lessons, presentations, and other materials into Lumio to create interactive lessons with game-based activities, formative assessments, and more. Educators will also be able to access libraries from both Canva and Lumio to explore thousands of high-quality, ready-made templates and infographics.
“The Lumio team is excited to roll out our integration with Canva for Education,” said Dan McMahon, Lumio Vice President of Software. “This collaboration reinforces our commitment to inspiring creativity, saving teachers’ time, and creating an active learning environment that is accessible and collaborative for all.”
