She also explained the advantages of the site in being free, easy to use, does not require installing programs and applications on the device used, supports the Arabic language, and has a user-friendly interface for beginners, as well as allowing collaboration, featuring a drag-and-drop capability, and having a huge library of images and ready-made clips, and is compatible with all devices such as mobile phones and computers.

After the course ended, the electronic newspaper Oyun Al-Madina spoke with instructor Al-Hazmi, who added: In light of the circumstances the world is currently experiencing due to the Corona pandemic and distance education, there has been an urgent need for diversity in presentation methods and innovation and creativity in all fields, as video production is one of the creative fields that everyone should learn, and it is not necessary to use difficult and expensive professional programs, but one can work on simple and easy programs and websites, for example, the Canva site, which is considered one of the best, easiest, and most famous sites during this period, distinguished by supporting different languages, including Arabic, and containing many high-resolution images and free ready-made templates that save costs, and any individual in the community can easily learn and work on it.
Al-Hazmi added that the integration between the idea and the program used is very important; how many good ideas have failed due to poor production, and how many ordinary ideas have turned into creative ones due to the quality of production; therefore, I advise everyone to pay attention to the idea and choose the right program for them, as well as visual nutrition and self-education leading to creativity. In the end, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the ACADEMION Institute for giving me the opportunity for community participation, and I especially thank Mr. Mishal Al-Mahlawi and those in charge of the ACADEMION International Training Institute.
