Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) requires teachers to possess competencies in developing innovative, interactive, and engaging learning media that meet the needs of students in the digital era. However, the utilization of such technologies at SD Negeri Anjir Serapat Muara I.3 has not been fully optimized, despite the availability of supporting facilities such as Chromebooks and Belajar.id accounts integrated with Canva. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ competencies in designing interactive educational game-based learning media using Canva and AI technologies. The implementation methods included lectures, discussions, demonstrations, workshops, mentoring, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed that teachers were able to utilize Canva’s interactive features, including hyperlinks, animations, and gamification elements, to develop various interactive learning media and educational games such as interactive quizzes, digital escape rooms, adventure quizzes, and digital mazes. In addition, teachers successfully utilized Canva AI, ChatGPT, and Gemini in the development process of learning media. Evaluation results indicated a significant increase in participants’ competency levels, from an average of 37.2% before the training to 87.2% after the training, with an average improvement of 55.2%. Therefore, the training and mentoring program proved effective in enhancing teachers’ competencies in developing creative, interactive, and technology-based learning media that are relevant to the demands of 21st-century education.
