The uses of comics in education are multiple, but sometimes they have been pushed into the background as they were not considered a proper narrative or literature example.
However comics can offer a wide range of opportunities in our lessons, from just showing a reading to introduce our content to a really powerful assessment tool or a great motivational experience for the student in their learning process.
The NOOC 'Creating a comic' will help you learn how to create comics and use them into the different subject lessons.
At the end of the activities, you will be able to gain a digital badge stored in the INTEF Open Badge Backpack that is awarded as recognition for the learning throughout the NOOC. The estimated workload is only indicative, training hours not being certified. It is expected that the main motivation for participation in the NOOC is personal learning, professional development and collaboration with other teachers.
The language of this course will be English.
At the end of the NOOC you will create a comic related with some of the content of the curriculum to use it in your lessons.
This NOOC will help you achieve level C1 of competence 3.1. "Developing digital content", from Area 3: “Digital content creation”, of the Digital Competence Framework for Teachers.

This NOOC is aimed at working teachers, perspective teachers, and teacher trainers who want to learn to integrate technology effectively, make learning meaningful for students (specifically children, adolescents and teens), and take ownership of their own professional development. This course is also open to anyone interested in this topic.
To participate in this NOOC it is only necessary to have an Internet connection that allows you to watch videos, since much of the content that we offer is in this format. Some skill in using digital environments is necessary in order to conduct activities that facilitate reflection, debate and peer collaboration.
