The digital transformation in education encourages the use of learning media that not only support cognitive achievement but also facilitate the strengthening of students' character values, including discipline at the elementary school level. This study aims to examine the potential and need for developing Canva Site-based digital media to support learning that encourages the formation of disciplined behavior. The study used a qualitative approach, conducting a literature review of journal articles, books, and other relevant scientific documents on digital media, technology-based learning, and character education. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify patterns, key concepts, and their implications for the use of digital learning media. The study results indicate that the Canva Site has several characteristics that support learning, including multimedia integration, structured navigation, and flexible access to learning materials. Various literature shows that these characteristics can support student engagement, facilitate independent learning, and help students follow the learning flow more systematically. Furthermore, the flexibility of content presentation allows this media to be used in a more inclusive learning context by accommodating the differences in students' needs and learning styles. These findings indicate that the Canva Site has the potential to serve as an alternative digital medium for developing more participatory learning and supporting the formation of regular study habits among elementary school students.
