Create a comic strip with AI

One of the activities Bart Verswijvel designed and delivered at the Interactive Technologies for the Future Classroom course was the creation of a Comic Strip with the help of an AI powered tool. ComicAI is just great for Digital Storytelling.

How did we do it? We asked ChatGPT to write a simple story and we pasted  it in the ComicAI tool. The tool automatically creates graphics and scenes. All is adjustable. It is magic.

The only downside is the final product, which is an image. It is not so practical to have all the panels in just one picture.

So Bart added the panels separately to Powerpoint pages and made a screencast. The voices have been created with Podcastle.
