In this research, the focus is on hybrid digital learning in character design teaching through the study of the Collaborative Story craft Workshop which is an international workshop hosted by the DKV BINUS University Bandung together with the University of Melbourne. In the process of organizing the workshop, there were both onsite participants as well as an online international guest, hence making the process a hybrid one where oral storytelling, visualization, digital interaction, and collaborative feedback take place. This research seeks to gain an understanding of the way the hybrid workshop structure helps students visualize character designs from their narration. Analysis is concerned with aspects related to structure, activities, interactions, and the influence of the digital media platform in facilitating collaborative creativity learning. It is clear from the results that hybrid digital learning can be applied in the teaching of character design as it allows for knowledge transfer between different educational institutions, the formation of several perspectives, and helps students understand the link between story clarity and visual coherence. In addition, this workshop serves as an example of how digital media collaboration can extend creative learning experiences outside the physical environment of a class and still ensure engagement in reflection.
