Evaluation of production model for digital storytelling via educational comics

Abstract

The paradigm of Education 4.0 empowers learners to produce innovations, the follow-on substantiations of knowledge production in a form of learner-generated content. Originated from this trend, there are a growing number of Digital Storytelling online platforms that grant learners interactive tools for producing educational comics. Thus, a conceptual production model of learner-generated comic is proposed to serve as a guideline for learners to design and develop digital educational comics. To evaluate the quality of the proposed model, experimental testing is carried out where participants quantitatively rate their experience of using the model. Nonparametric findings from statistical test disclose that the proposed production model learner-generated comic is significantly generalizable, flexible, complete, usable, and understandable. Therefore, results conclude that the production model for learner-generated comic has significantly served as guideline for learners to design and develop digital educational comics.
