Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers innovative solutions to improve the quality of learning, especially in creating teaching materials. However, in Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra, many elementary school teachers have not yet utilized this technology due to limited knowledge and skills. Therefore, this community service activity aims to socialize and train elementary school teachers in utilizing AI to create interactive and effective teaching materials. The implementation method of this activity includes socialization of AI theory, practical training on the use of AI applications, group discussions, and direct practice in creating AI-based teaching materials. The results of this activity show an increase in teachers' understanding and skills in using AI. As many as 75% of teachers are able to create more varied and efficient teaching materials by utilizing AI technology. However, several obstacles were found, such as limited technological infrastructure in schools. This socialization activity succeeded in improving teachers' ability to utilize AI, but limited technological infrastructure is a major challenge. The evaluation showed that most teachers needed further training to deepen their understanding of AI technology. In the future, there needs to be increased access to technology and ongoing training to ensure the sustainability of AI utilization in elementary education in Bukittinggi

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to enhance teachers’ competencies in basic graphic design to support the development of digital learning materials at MTsN Labor Garegeh, Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. The program was motivated by the limited use of visual digital media in classroom instruction and the lack of teachers’ confidence in utilizing graphic design applications. Preliminary needs analysis indicated that more than 70% of participating teachers had never received formal training in instructional graphic design and experienced difficulties integrating visual digital media into student-centered learning activities. The activities were conducted through several stages, including needs analysis, training workshops, hands-on practice, mentoring, and evaluation. Participants were introduced to fundamental visual design principles and guided in using graphic design tools to create interactive teaching materials. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding of graphic design concepts and their ability to produce creative digital learning resources. Teachers were able to develop visually engaging teaching materials that are more suitable for student-centered learning. In addition, participants demonstrated increased motivation to integrate technology into their instructional practices. This program contributes to strengthening teachers’ professional capacity and fostering innovation in learning. It is expected that the outcomes of this PKM will support sustainable improvements in teaching quality and encourage the wider adoption of digital media in schools.
