Common tools to use to create slide projects:
Canva
– Drag-and-drop, modern templates, easy exports (great for visuals and short decks). (The university offers Canva for Campus for all students!)
Google Slides – Fast, cloud-based, great for collaboration and basic slide needs.
PowerPoint (PPT) – Familiar interface, offline option, robust tools but easy for simple decks.
Adobe Express – Sleek templates, modern designs, and easy web editing.
Pitch – Polished templates + teamwork focus; good alternative to Slides.
