This virtual poster highlights the GenAI-supported capabilities of the design tool, Canva, to explore bilingual expression, aesthetic education, and reflective storytelling, drawing on a bilingual digital story series, Digital Whispers, developed in collaboration with ChatGPT and Gemini by the presenter, in English and Japanese. Framed by aesthetic education (Greene, 1995), dual coding theory (Paivio, 1986), and GenAI-supported creativity studies, the poster illustrates how multimodal digital design can enhance learner engagement and cross-cultural understanding in multilingual contexts. Canva, an increasingly multilingual and user-friendly platform, enables the creation of visually rich content across various formats, including documents, presentations, videos, social media, and more. It also allows one-click online publication of created content on websites and video-sharing platforms like YouTube, even from a free account, thereby enabling public sharing and global outreach for all users. Recent integrations of GenAI tools, such as Magic Write (powered by ChatGPT), support genre-specific scripting, stylistic variation, and tone adaptation in multiple languages. The poster illustrates how Canva’s features can support the production of aesthetically expressive, bilingual content that transcends traditional classroom activities and reaches global audiences. Based on reflective practitioner inquiry, this poster positions Canva as both a pedagogical and artistic medium. While empirical studies on Canva’s educational applications are emerging, this poster references recent research to support its implications for inclusive, global education through GenAI-supported creativity.
