INTRODUCTION
The Corona virus outbreak affects all areas of life, including education. The corona virus pandemic has forced the government's policy to carry out distance learning which has never been practiced by Indonesia (Hikmah et al., 2022). During the distance learning pandemic, there are many obstacles, ranging from financial, technical, networking, to learning effectiveness that is difficult to measure (Amrina, Iswantir M, et al., 2022). This is very difficult for Arabic language teachers in an effort to increase students' interest in learning during online learning (on the network).
Online learning (on the network) encourages Arabic teachers to plan teaching materials that can attract students' interest in learning while studying. So that technology can be utilized, the development of science and technology (IPTEK) is currently very much needed by all elements in Indonesia, including the element of education. In the world of education, technology has been widely used to support the learning process as an information tool as well as a means of supporting the learning process and also with obligations (Tri Wulandari & Adam Mudinillah, 2022). Especially during the current pandemic as a result, Arabic teachers must have the option of having what it takes to create more creative and imaginative interest-interesting materials to improve student learning in Arabic during the pandemic. In the power pont, it can also develop the skills it has (Mudinillah, 2019).
Technology in the world of education plays an important role for educators and students. Current technological developments in the world of education are very helpful for teachers to increase student motivation and achievement (Tafonao, 2018). In line with the progress of science from time to time, new technology has also developed which is a sign of the times, until now technology is increasingly advanced. Is entering the digital world (Rohmalimna et al., 2022). The rapid development of the internet and digital technology has also affected all fields including education and business, where the trend in the two fields is currently shifting from being face-to-face (offline) to being all-digital (online) (Hartini et al., 2022) .In the world of education, digital technology has begun to be used to support the learning process, as an information tool or as a means of supporting learning activities and assignments. Meanwhile, in the business world, technology can ensure smooth and optimal service to customers as well as improve the performance of a company (Nopiana et al., 2022). In the learning system, learning media is one of the compartments and a large container for learning resources, so far the learning media is one that can be used to liven up the atmosphere, feelings, considerations, and readiness of students in order to turn on the learning system (Keshav et al., 2022). So that students have the will or desire to learn. With the development of science and technology, it will affect the teacher's perspective in adapting the needs of students, one of which is the use of learning media. With learning media that is so interesting, it will be easier for students to use it and easy to remember and understand the learning material delivered by educators. In this case, it can support the success of learning, namely the learning media, where the learning media is one that has an important role for both teachers and students. And in the teaching and learning process the media also acts as a facilitator when they want to convey subject matter to students (Nadya et al., 2022).
Learning media that have been made well will be very helpful for students in achieving learning objectives (Anoum et al., 2022). The importance of using technology in the teaching and learning process to make quality learning as expected in terms of designing, developing, analyzing, and evaluating materials in the learning process (Firman et al., 2022). It is very important that teachers can pay attention to the impact of illustrations that can be used to convey messages to students in learning media.
Language is a special instrument for conveying thoughts, feelings, and desires from one individual to the next by utilizing the sounds created by the human speech apparatus. Arabic is a Middle Eastern language that has a place in the Arabic family and is identified with Hebrew and Neo Aramaic dialects. Arabic has more speakers than some other languages. It is spoken by more than 280 million people as a first language, mostly living in the Middle East and North Africa. Arabic is the language of the power of 25 countries, and is the language of love for Muslims because it is the language used by the Qur'an (Ilham et al., 2022).
In ordering and making Arabic demonstration materials, there are several things that must be considered as a basis or standard with the intention that the demonstration materials presented are relevant and in accordance with the needs of the community. Communicating broadly in Arabic indicates the material should have something like 3 sections, to be specific: 1) textbook, 2) educator book, 3) section or media that incorporates action books, supplementary comprehension materials, test books, listening tapes, exercises Material syntax, jargon or mufrodat word references, video printed materials, etc (Demina et al., 2022).
Which is used by individuals in disseminating thoughts, so that the thoughts The use of learning media is very important in the learning process, so that the realization of effective and dynamic learning. Media in a narrow scope can be defined as a tool part of the learning framework (Firman et al., 2022). On a broad level, media can be defined as the most extreme use of all parts of learning assets and frameworks to achieve specific learning targets. This learning medium has many benefits in distance learning, through the medium the delivery of materials can be used on any device. As stated by Hamidjojo, what is implied by the media is mostly the type of delegation to the beneficiary. While the term learning is an educational work to learn. In the implementation of learning there is correspondence between students and educators, so that such a learning system is very important for communication interaction between people.
Learning media is an instrument or intermediary in helping educational and learning measures among educators and students in creating great and innovation -based learning. It is undeniable that the rapid advancement of technological innovation in today's globalized world cannot be separated from its impact on education (Assoah, 2007). Improving the way education works in the future requires digital information systems and advanced technology that serve as a method of assistance, but as a basic weapon to help achieve the world of education so that it can compete in the international world (Rahmah et al., 2022).

As there are several types of presentations on the application there are interesting presentations, technology, education, business, advertising, animation, agenda, and others. According to Amrina, Zulmuqim, et al. (2022), one of the many apps at the forefront of the tech world is Canva. Canva is a web-based design program that provides various tools such as presentations, resumes, banners, flyers, flyers, designs, infographics, banners, bookmarks, notifications, etc. which are provided in the Canva application (Ritonga et al., 2023). The types of presentations accessible in Canva include innovative introductions, education, business, technology, innovation, etc.
The advantages of the Canva application can be seen as follows: 1.Has a variety of attractive designs; 2.

As shown by Rainbow, the shortcomings of Canva are: 1. Canva application depends on an adequate and stable network connection, if weak then canva can not be accessed on the web or on the gadget or PC to be used, Canva can not be utilized or used in making the design; 2. In the Canva application there are formats, stker, delineation, textual style, etc. at a cost. Along these lines, some are paid and some are not. However, this is no different given the fact that many other formats are interesting and free. Exactly how users can plan something is imaginative and depends on your own imagination; 3. Some selected designs have designs that are similar to those of other users, such as format, image, color, etc. However, this is also not a problem, leave it back to the user in choosing the design to be used.
Research related to the application of Canva conducted by Kartel et al. (2022), they show that students more easily master the learning materials by utilizing the media. Learning media are mostly more interested in digital media and here it is used depending on the Canva application with an excellent model. Siahaan et al showed the results of their investigation that physics teachers after directing the creation of Canva learning media have additional information about Canva applications and can also create things for learning media using Canva. With the Canva application, IPA teachers can use the Canva application as a learning medium. In planning learning media, educators enter text, images, formats and select realistic plans, designs and page numbers that have been provided by the Canva application. In addition to making it easier for teachers to learn, Canva application media can also make students to be more concentrated when seeing teachers explain because teachers use interesting and beautiful media so that the learning process takes place effectively.

Interesting examples such as learning literature in the form of poetry, learners are not only glued to the books and written texts they are used to seeing, but how visual literacy in this Canva utilizes poetry subjects written by learners by directly pouring their thoughts, creativity, and emotions. By relying on color, atmosphere, images, and other symbols that can be utilized through design in Canva applications.
