Lesson Content

Canva AI command work begins with a design brief: audience, asset type, dimensions, brand voice, required text, forbidden imagery, and export need. The command should make layout decisions inspectable.

Professional Use Case: A course seller creates a branded lesson promo graphic and checks contrast, hierarchy, and call-to-action clarity.

Student task: Use Canva AI with practice material you are comfortable sharing. Perform the use scenario below. Copy the first answer into a text editor or notes document. Then write one clarification prompt that tells the AI exactly what to improve. Student task help: Use pretend, public, or low-risk practice material. Copying the first AI answer into a text editor means pasting it into Notepad, Word, Google Docs, or another notes file so you can compare it with your revised answer. A clarification prompt is a short follow-up that tells the AI what to fix, add, remove, or explain. Example clarification prompt: "Make this easier for a beginner, add one concrete example, and show the next three steps as a checklist."

Starter scenario: Ask Canva AI or Magic Design for a course-promo layout using a short brand brief and required text.

Troubleshooting: If the command is unavailable, check whether it depends on a workspace, paid plan, enabled tool, file type, browser/app context, or region. If the output is shallow, add source material, examples, exclusion rules, and a definition of done. If the output contains claims, verify against an authoritative source before using it.

Quality Rubric:

• The command includes enough context to prevent generic output.
• The result is tied to a real deliverable.
• The student records at least one verification step.
• Sensitive data is removed or minimized.
