Resumen

Este estudio descriptivo transversal examinó la efectividad de Canva como herramienta digital para fomentar el aprendizaje colaborativo entre 85 estudiantes de inglés de nivel 3 de la Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, Ecuador. Los participantes fueron organizados en 17 grupos colaborativos y participaron en actividades estructuradas de escritura y expresión oral utilizando Canva durante un semestre académico. Los datos se recolectaron mediante un cuestionario validado que midió las percepciones estudiantiles a través de ocho dimensiones de efectividad de la plataforma y cuatro tipos de engagement (cognitivo, emocional, conductual y social). Los resultados demostraron percepciones consistentemente positivas hacia Canva, con medias que oscilaron entre 3.89 y 4.31 en una escala de 5 puntos. El desarrollo de competencias digitales recibió la valoración más alta (M = 4.31, DE = 0.74), seguido por la facilidad de uso (M = 4.23, DE = 0.78). Los niveles de engagement estudiantil fueron altos en todas las dimensiones, con el engagement conductual mostrando las puntuaciones más altas (M = 4.28, DE = 0.65). Los hallazgos confirman la efectividad de Canva para facilitar el aprendizaje colaborativo mientras desarrolla competencias digitales transferibles en contextos universitarios de educación en idiomas.
