Reflection not CMS Canva

 The CMS that is not CMS I reviewed is Canva

https://www.canva.com/

Alright, to start with, Canva looks very presentable. It is a site that allows you make any kind of presentations with a lot of tools to make it nice. It does not tell you what it does until you register, so you have to know by someone else telling you or you try on your own. On the other hand, as it is beautiful all of these tools that it has are heavy for low-end PCs thus it might not work on all computers which is advisable to not use it in chrome as it takes too much RAM.

Canva has a lot of tools for presentation, ranging from regular presentation to videos in Instagram using animated images to add flair to the page. Whenever you use a tool, the first time it does give you a small tutorial on what you can do with it. Furthermore, these can allow multiple people work in the same presentation and organize in courses. In other words, a teacher can do multiple classes in the same course to follow a logical order. However, presentation is the limit as it seems hard for multiple people to work at the same time, and does not give default tools for sharing activities. Teachers have to be smart about it using videos to share what others have done.

Finally, the page is free and does not seem to have ads, there is a premium plan which allows you use more templates, GIFs and images from the same page.
