2.0 Problem or Issues Investigated
According to the fourth edition of the dictionary, the problem is something that
requires a solution, a thing or a situation that is difficult. According to Krulik and Rudnick
(1989), the problem is a situation, quantitative or otherwise, faced by an individual or group
of individuals in need of a solution and the individual has no solution. While the issue is
subject to controversial opinions, issues of fact, evaluation, or policies that are important to
the parties related. In addition, it is defined that the issue is the result of an action proposed
by a person or other party that may have an impact on personal consultation and
adjustment, civil and criminal litigation, or something that could be a public policy issue
through legal action rules.
The problem or issues that were investigated in the project is application Canva as a
modern way in a learning process. It is because, in designing for the classroom it can take
hours to create graphically engaging content like infographics, worksheets, presentations,
and videos. Canva for education makes content creation easy with over 420,000 templates.
Take a premade education template and add your own flair. Be sure to check out the
classroom kit templates as well. Here we will find themed classroom décor, newsletters,
lesson plan templates, and more. In this context, students can create and personalise their
own designs from scratch, or choose from thousands of high-quality, educational templates.
From presentations to posters, and infographics, to worksheets, project-based learning, and
lesson plans, the possibilities are endless. Therefore, the nature of Creativity, critical
thinking, design, and visual communication are central to our student provision for the
outside world. Canva nurtures this skill by making it easy to create and complete group
projects, videos, posters and more.
Some templates cannot be used because they are paid as one of the problems or
issues that were investigated in the project. At Canva, content can be either free or pro.
Actually, Canva is always free for every individual and team to make it easier for users .
However, if students want to unlock premium features, individuals can upgrade to Canva Pro
to easily create professional designs and content and it has to be paid. Despite this fact,
users can also use a licence issued to you when you use content in a design. Free Content
licences are issued at no cost. Students are issued a Pro Content licence by paying if they
are a free user, or at no additional cost if you have a valid Canva subscription. Each Pro
content licence allows us to use the content in one design, so we must pay to object to a
new licence each time we like to use the name piece of Pro content in a new design. If
5
students have a Canva Pro or Canva for Teams plan, then a new licence is automatically
issued to them each time you use Pro content in a new design. The only reason those
templates are paid is that they contain paid elements, such as quality photos or vectors. So
open up the template, see what the paid element is (denoted with the watermark grid and
Canva logo), delete and replace it with something else that's free.

3.0 THE RATIONALE OF USING THE VARIOUS ITEMS COVERED IN THE LECTURE
According to the fourth edition of the dictionary, rationale is a reasonable reason for
an act, act, or holding. In addition, rationale here also refers to thinking on the basis of
reasons and evidence and will take action based on reasonable judgement. (Edwin, 2008).
One of the main rationale of the various items covered in the lecture and activities
using information technology in education is that it offers more and more teaching materials.
Through the internet, students have access to sources of information such as e-books,
educational websites and learning videos. This opens them up to the latest and exciting
information on a variety of topics from the point of learning in school about the current
world. The borderless world created from the internet enables us to access the wide variety
of learning materials that ole users develop around the world. But guidance and guidance
still require ole students from accredited teachers to be recognized for the knowledge to be
properly understood. It is clear that with easy and extensive access to teaching materials,
students can develop a deeper and broader understanding of the subjects learned.
The rationale of using the various items covered in the lecture and activities in iTEL,
Padlet and etc can help strengthen the skills of teenagers. In the face of modernization
today, most of us, especially teenagers, need to master more than one skill to stay relevant
in any field of work. This is because the scope of employment offered today requires highly
skilled and diverse employees. For example, communication skills and self-image invitations
have been key criteria for assessment in future career development. So teens can learn skills
outside the classroom through video streaming applications like Youtube. In addition,
adolescents also need to cultivate the use of technology in their daily lives as all aspects of
life in the future will be filled with easier and more efficient technologies to manage. In line
with the rapid development of technology, teens should also be wise to add other skills to
add value to themselves when it comes to starting a career.

take advantage of. The birth of social media applications such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram also has opened the door for each of its users to expand their relationship shelves
to the world. In addition, communication through information technology is important in
terms of personal safety. This is because emergency billing and location sharing can be done
easily if the victim is in an emergency or threatened with safety. A Malay proverb says,
another past now means the way communication was different from now on. In fact,
mastery of information technology will facilitate communication with each other regardless
of distance and time.

4.0 METHODOLOGY
The study methodology is their method and technique-the form, collection and
analysis of data in order to produce evidence that can support a study. In preparing and
completing this assignment, there are several methodological studies that have been used
including ADDIE Model, , Gagne's Events of Instruction and various padlet activities.

5.0 IMPLEMENTATION
Execution comes from a word of execution that means running/doing an activity.
Implementation is an action/implementation From a well-planned and detailed plan,
implementation is usually done once the planning is complete. (Kompasiana, 2022).
5.1 ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI to understand how humans
speak and write. As mentioned above, this model is based on technology in
Transformer movies and trained with large amounts of text data from the internet, so
that you can recognize the patterns that are in English and what the next wish will
come in the given text or text. When you use ChatGPT, this model will analyse the
input you have and use the information it has learned to return the answer. This
model can follow the flow of encouragement in a natural way and can answer the
questions posed to it by subscribing to the information available. To use ChatGPT,
you can insert queries or scams into applications or services that use this model, and
the model will return the appropriate jaws. You can also use ChatGPT to help write
natural text and fit the specified topic.
5.2 Canva
Canva is an online graphic design platform that provides users with a wide range of
tools and templates to create visually appealing designs for various purposes, such
as presentations, social media graphics, posters, flyers, and more. It offers a
user-friendly interface and customization options, making it accessible to users
without extensive design experience. Canva simplifies the design process, allowing
individuals to create professional-looking graphics and visual content with ease to
make individuals thinking more creative in education.

6.0 PREPARED INFOGRAPHICS
Infographics (a combination of "information" (information) and "graphics" ) is a
visual representation of information, data, or knowledge intended to quickly and clearly
present information.
11
gauge their impact. Canva's analytics feature provides insights into how your designs
are performing, helping you make data-driven decisions and iterate for better results.

6.3 Application of ChatGPT
ChatGPT can be used to generate text based on one or more sources, but it is
important to supplement the generated text with information from other sources.
This will help to ensure that the review article is not simply a regurgitation of
previously published content. For example, in that project in padlet, there are some
other infographics such as pros and cons of Canva. We use the application to find out
more in-depth information or information about pros and cons of Canva application.

7.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are many applications that facilitate students in their daily lives,
especially to do some assignments. In this group assignments, the writer's role in this
project is to explain how well Canva applications can help students prepare more exciting
tasks and be creative and innovative. In this context, the writer used the ADDIE model in
listing the benefits of Canva applications to students. It is commonly used, widely accepted,
and provides a foundation for other learning models. Another advocate is that it has proven
to be effective for learning. Also, since the larger pieces of the project are planned, it
becomes easy to measure the time and cost involved in the project.
Challenges encountered are time constraints to complete tasks. As we can see, these
weeks are the weekend of the semester where students are asked to submit assignments on
a given date. Therefore, as a responsible student, the writer should be wise in setting the
time by listing the assignment that needs to be delivered in order. Next, the writer does not
know how to use the application such as ADDIE model and Gagne’s Events of Instruction.
How the writer overcomes these challenges is to ask the writer friends who are good at
using the application and do a more in-depth look at the application. It did not take a few
days for the writer to master the application.
In choosing this title, the writer needs to expand on the idea of what are the key
elements that need to be studied in producing an Interactive Training Module to be more
interesting and creative. In this title there are also some references that are not accessible
to add a little bit of information to the module. However the module has helped the author
become more creative in writing so that the writing can be a reference in the future.
