Abstract
Education in the 21st century requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as creativity, communicative, and collaborative. The experience during the COVID-19 pandemic opened great opportunities for learners, by using technology, to facilitate the learning process in various spaces where the learning system moves towards a hybrid, conducted offline and online. Therefore, educators must be innovative in planning lessons that encourage students to use their skills. One of them is by selecting, developing, and utilizing digital-based learning media. For example, the use of Canva-based digital media among students and educators has developed along with technological advances. The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of using digital media applications for gymnastics learning through the Canva media platform. The object of this research is a beauty gymnastics course which is applied to students of the Cosmetology Study Program. This research uses literature study with qualitative descriptive research methods. The result of this study including: a. The positive impact of using the Canva application as a learning platform, especially for learning beauty gymnastics during the COVID-19 pandemic, is the accessibility. It much easier for teachers to prepare content. Furthermore, by using digital media innovation, students will be more independent in learning, to facilitate practical learning processes and increase learning engagement. b. On the other hand, there are negative impacts, namely physical and mental health problems that can arise due to excessive use of digital media. Therefore, parents and teachers should collaborate to pay more attention with the use of technology by their children. So based on the results of the research presented, the application of digital learning media in gymnastics courses can facilitate an easier and more practical learning process, so that the positive impact is more dominantly felt by students.
