1. Introduction & Framing (10 min)

Facilitator explains:

• Creativity in digital learning is not about artistic talent, but about expressing meaning with digital formats

·       Examples of digital creativity:

• Infographics

• Podcasts

• Explainer videos

• Visual timelines or concept maps

Ask: “What tool or format do you enjoy creating with—or would like to try?

Highlight the importance of process over perfection

2. Group Task – Build a Digital Story (40 min)

Divide participants into small groups (2–4). The task is “Tell the story of a small change that can make a big impact”.

Each group must:

1. Choose a format: infographic, short video, podcast intro, or visual board

2. Use AI tools to:

   • Generate a title, structure or main message

   • Suggest visual elements or script

   • Create a first draft to revise collaboratively

3. Build a simple but meaningful creative product using digital tools

4. Add a short reflective caption:

   • “What was the message?”

   • “How did the tool help express it?”

   • “Where did AI support the process?”

3. Showcase & Feedback (15 min)

Groups briefly present:

• Their product (screen share, board, printed version, etc.)

• What tool(s) they used and why

• How AI helped or hindered

• One thing they would improve

Facilitator highlights different creative approaches, encourages positive feedback, and notes ethical considerations (e.g., image attribution).

4. Reflection & Wrap-up (5–10 min)

Ask:  “What made this creative process easier? What made it harder?”

Learners complete a short self-check:

• I used digital tools to express an idea

• I experimented with a new format or tool

• I used AI to support my creativity

• I respected copyright and focused on meaningful expression

Adaptation Tips

Online:

• Share all required tools and templates in advance via a central resource folder (Google Drive, LMS page).

• Use breakout rooms for each group, and assign roles such as AI Prompter, Designer, Presenter, and Writer to ensure equal contribution.

• Offer a set of pre-tested AI prompts learners can use to:

  • Generate campaign titles

  • Write an engaging 30-second script

  • Suggest icons or layouts for a story

• Provide live tech support or a FAQ board (e.g., Jamboard/Padlet) for quick troubleshooting of creative platforms.

• Use a shared Google Slide deck or Padlet wall for groups to upload and present their final creative work.

• During feedback, use emoji voting or short comments to create a positive, low-pressure peer review environment.

  
  

In person:

• Provide internet-connected laptops or tablets to each group with pre-installed or bookmarked access to creative tools (Canva, Lumen5, Genially).

• Share printed or digital prompt cards that guide AI interactions (e.g., “Ask ChatGPT to write a short script for a 1-minute video on recycling habits”).

• For learners with low digital confidence, offer visual storyboarding templates or allow initial analog drafting with pens and sticky notes before moving to digital creation.

• ·Create stations or “creation corners” for each tool (e.g., one for infographics, one for podcast planning) where groups can rotate based on their format of choice.

• ·Encourage group brainstorming on flipcharts, followed by digital prototyping using the selected tools.

• Use a projector or classroom screen to display finished digital stories during the showcase, and provide space for positive peer feedback.

Hybrid:

• Ensure all participants (in-person and remote) have access to one shared working space per group (e.g., collaborative Google Slides or Canva project).

• Form mixed groups where online learners can focus on scripting or researching, while in-person learners handle design or presentation tasks.

• Assign a group coordinator to ensure equal participation across formats and maintain communication flow.

• ·Set up a camera + screen/projector in the physical space so online participants can follow the discussion and view the in-person progress in real-time.

• Present final projects using shared screens for remote learners and projector for in-room groups, with one joint presentation per group.

• Use a shared digital board (e.g., Padlet) to collect all group creations for display, archiving, or voting (e.g., “Most powerful message,” “Best use of AI”).
