Περίληψη (Αγγλική μετάφραση) In this master’s thesis, the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive educa-tional material are presented. The material integrates applications of Artificial Intelli-gence (AI) within the context of supplementary distance education. It is intended for fifth-grade primary school students and aims to introduce them to the concepts of story-telling, digital storytelling, and the creative use of AI, while simultaneously fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and creative expression skills.
The material was designed according to the principles of distance education and can be used either autonomously or in combination with face-to-face teaching. Its structure fol-lows the core principles of multimedia learning, combining text, images, narration, au-dio, and interactive activities. It also includes clear instructions, reflection questions, and self-assessment exercises, which support the active engagement of students and allow them to monitor their own progress.
The evaluation was carried out by experts in distance education and multimedia learning through a questionnaire consisting of both closed- and open-ended questions. The re-search focused on the extent to which the material adheres to the principles of distance education and applies the principles of multimedia learning.
The results of the evaluation were encouraging. The reviewers highlighted that the mate-rial is scientifically grounded, user-friendly, and pedagogically appropriate, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Furthermore, it promotes interaction, fosters active student participation, and cultivates reflection and self-assessment skills. Additionally, it was found that the material successfully incorporates most principles of multimedia learning, creating an engaging and effective learning environment for fifth-grade stu-dents.
