PELATIHAN PENYUSUNAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN E-COMIC DENGAN PIXTON

Abstract

The development of digital technology requires educators to be able to develop learning media that are creative, innovative, and appropriate to the characteristics of 21st-century students. One of the potential media to increase interest and understanding in learning is e-comics, because they combine visual and narrative elements in an interesting way. However, many educators still lack the skills to independently develop e-comics. Therefore, this Community Service activity aims to improve educators' competence in developing e-comics using the Pixton application. The implementation method includes planning, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The training was conducted through material delivery, demonstrations of the use of the Pixton application, and direct practice in developing e-comics according to each participant's learning material. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding and skills in designing and developing interactive and contextual e-comics. Participants were able to produce e-comics that can be used as learning media in the classroom. This activity is expected to encourage the use of digital technology in learning and improve the quality of the teaching and learning process.
