This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of Canva and Nearpod digital platforms in supporting the strengthening of students' character at the elementary school level. Character education is a fundamental aspect in the formation of students' personalities who have integrity, toughness, and adaptability to the development of the times. In the digital era, interactive learning media is an important means to instill character values in a more interesting and contextual way. The method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles, with the research subjects consisting of teachers, class V students, and students' parents. The learning process is designed to blend character education content with the use of Canva as a creative visual medium, as well as Nearpod as an interactive presentation tool that allows students to be active through online quizzes, assignments, and reflections. The results of the study showed a marked increase in students' learning motivation, attitude of responsibility, discipline, cooperation in groups, and the ability to make decisions independently. Parental involvement in digital learning also supports the consistency of character strengthening at home. However, the study also noted several challenges, such as the limitations of technological devices, unstable internet networks, and variations in students' and parents' digital literacy abilities. Recommended solutions include intensive training for teachers in the use of digital media, improved support facilities in schools, as well as a collaborative approach between teachers and parents. Thus, the integrated use of Canva and Nearpod not only supports mastery of academic materials, but also significantly strengthens students' character values holistically. This study is expected to be a reference in the development of digital learning innovations oriented towards character education at the elementary level.

This article discusses the implementation and innovation of an interactive digital comic titled “Si Panca dan Kekuatan Norma,” designed as a character education tool that integrates Islamic and Muhammadiyah values (AIK) for elementary school students. The research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach involving 25 fifth-grade students from SDN Padurenan II. The digital comic, developed through Canva and supported by reflective quizzes via Quizizz, presents moral dilemmas faced by a student named Panca in daily life situations. The content emphasizes values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, and social care. The media was implemented over four learning sessions and evaluated through observation, teacher interviews, student questionnaires, and quiz results. Initial findings show that the comic successfully improved student participation, moral awareness, interpersonal interaction, and understanding of AIK values. The media also fostered a joyful, contextual, and interactive learning environment. This study highlights the potential of digital storytelling to support Islamic character development and recommends its broader application in Islamic-based education.

This article aims to examine the role of digital learning media in supporting mathematics learning that is aligned with the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum. The research was conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method on twenty scientific articles that discuss the use of digital media in learning mathematics at various levels of education. The results of the study show that digital learning media such as the Canva application, Wordwall, digital comics, animated videos, and educational games can significantly improve concept understanding, learning motivation, and student engagement. Digital media also supports the differentiated and contextual learning approach that is the main characteristic of Merdeka Curriculum. This study concludes that digital media is not only effective in conveying abstract material visually and interactively, but also encourages the development of students' 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, independence, and creativity. The findings are expected to be a reference for teachers, researchers, and policy makers in designing innovative and adaptive mathematics learning strategies in the digital era.

This research focuses on the development of contextual-based interactive learning media to improve mastery of reaction rate concepts and develop the character of high school students in remote areas. This learning media was developed to provide learning experiences that are relevant to everyday life, therefore the concepts of reaction rate are simpler to understand and apply in students. In addition, this contextual approach also aims to encourage character development, such as responsibility, discipline, creativity, curiosity, and communicativeness during the learning process. A literature review was conducted to gather articles relevant to this topic, with a published time frame of 2018 - 2025. The review shows that this media significantly helps students in understanding the concept of learning material, critical thinking, as well as strengthening positive character aspects that support learning success. This research concludes that contextual-based interactive learning can be an efficient option in the science learning process in high school.

Education is the main foundation for the progress of society and individuals, Basic education is very important to build students' knowledge and skills, especially in the field of science. Conventional methods, such as the use of illustrations and textbooks, are often not interesting and interactive. Digital technology presents new opportunities in learning innovation, including by utilizing augmented reality (AR). This study aims to analyze and evaluate the use of interactive media based on augmented reality (AR) in learning the topic of animal classification based on their type of food. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various scientific sources, including journals, articles, and relevant research reports in the last five years. AR-based interactive media offers an innovative and immersive learning experience, allowing students to interact directly with virtual objects in the form of three-dimensional (3D) visualizations. The results of the study show that the use of AR can improve students' understanding of the material, increase engagement in learning, and provide a more interesting and contextual learning experience. In addition, AR media is considered effective in helping students identify animal characteristics based on eating habits, such as herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. This study concludes that the integration of AR in science learning at the elementary school level has great potential to improve learning effectiveness.

The use of digital learning media in Social Studies subjects in elementary schools has become an important innovation in improving the quality of learning. Digital media not only enriches the learning experience, but also contributes to improving students' literacy, which includes the ability to seek, analyze and utilize information critically. However, the implementation of these media faces various challenges, such as infrastructure limitations, lack of teacher skills, content compatibility with the curriculum, and digital security issues. This research discusses digital learning media development strategies that include collaboration between educators and technology developers, intensive training for teachers, provision of adequate infrastructure, and content design tailored to the characteristics of elementary school students. Visual-based and interactive digital media is considered effective to improve students' understanding of social studies materials that are often abstract. In addition, the integration of digital learning with conventional methods provides a balanced and contextualized learning experience. By addressing the existing challenges, digital learning media can be an effective tool to strengthen students' literacy and equip them with 21st century skills. This research is expected to contribute to the development of innovative learning practices that are relevant to students' needs in the digital era.
