Due to its accessibility, convenience, and capacity to meet a variety of learner needs, web tools have become increasingly popular as a way to acquire these abilities. However, there is lack of study on the efficacy of web tools in fostering creativity and the role that web tools play in this process. It prompts to critically examine whether these virtual learning environments are genuinely successful in cultivating creative skills and, if they are, how web tools function as catalysts for their effectiveness. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of web 2.0 tools using Canva and Figma in enhancing creativity in the domain of visual content creation. The methodology was adapted and modified from the Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, focusing on four key levels: (1) Reaction, (2) Learning, (3) Behavior, and (4) Results. The participants for the training were undergraduate students from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris dan Universitas Mercu Buana Y.ogyakarta The research design involves a multi-dimensional assessment that includes survey, and pre-test and post-test. The study findings indicate that graphic design web tools significantly contribute to the development of creativity in visual content. The lowest mean score value for the training is 4.26 and the highest mean score value is 4.48. The analysis highlights that the participants experienced notable improvements in their creative skills after completing the training, with an increase in the quality and diversity of their visual content. The adapted evaluation model provides a holistic understanding of the impact of digital learning on participants, including their reactions, the knowledge acquired, changes in creative behavior, and the tangible outcomes of their creative endeavors.

This study aims to examine the effect of online education on the professional creativity of primary school teachers. The research was carried out in a mixed method. The study group of the research consisted of 319 primary school teachers who work in various primary schools in Zhetysu Region, Kazakhstan, and have online education experience. The data collection tools of the research were the teacher creativity scale, whose Kazakh language validity was provided by the researchers, and the semi-structured interview form. The analysis of the quantitative data of the research was carried out with SPSS 25 statistical program. Content analysis was performed for the analysis of the qualitative data of the studies. As a result of the research, it was determined that the creativity levels of primary school teachers were high. According to the seniority variable among primary school teachers, it was determined that the creativity levels of those with medium seniority were higher than the others. The vast majority of teachers stated that online education has a positive effect on professional creativity. The study recommends increasing the creativity level of primary school teachers, by establishing in-service training programs for all teachers, especially those who are in the first and last years of their professions.
