PKM Training on Creating Digital Book Media Based on the Heyzine Platform for Muhammadiyah Elementary School Teachers

Objective: This study aims to enhance the capabilities of elementary school teachers in
creating innovative and interactive learning through a digital media training program
using the Heyzine platform. Heyzine facilitates the creation of e-magazines and
interactive media, addressing the growing demand for technological mastery in
education. Method: The training involved demonstrations, hands-on practice, and
group discussions to optimize participants' understanding. These methods were
structured to accommodate varying levels of technological proficiency among
teachers. Results: The training successfully enabled teachers to produce innovative
learning materials, including thematic e-magazines, interactive videos, and digital
quizzes. These materials significantly improved student engagement in learning.
Additionally, participants reported increased technological competence and confidence
in integrating digital media into their teaching practices. Novelty: This initiative
highlights the practical application of Heyzine as a digital tool for education, bridging
the gap between traditional teaching methods and modern technological demands. The
study also identifies challenges, such as varying technology skills and limited access to
devices, proposing sustainable solutions like follow-up training and continuous
mentoring. The findings contribute to the discourse on achieving quality education
aligned with national educational goals in the digital age.
