The development of intelligent multimedia technology has had a significant impact on various sectors, especially in education, social, and cultural fields. This article discusses the latest trends in the use of intelligent multimedia and related technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Virtual Reality (VR), which have transformed the way we learn and interact with the world around us. In the context of education, intelligent multimedia enables a more personalized and adaptive approach to students' needs, enhancing educational accessibility, and reducing the educational gap between urban and rural areas. This technology also contributes greatly to creating a more interactive and engaging learning environment. On the other hand, the use of intelligent multimedia in social and cultural fields opens up opportunities to enrich local identities in the face of globalization, by incorporating traditional cultural elements into technology-based product designs. However, despite its many benefits, the implementation of intelligent multimedia technologies faces various challenges, such as infrastructure issues, limited budgets, and resistance from some educators who are not yet familiar with new technologies. Therefore, it is essential to ensure adequate digital literacy so that future generations can fully utilize this technology responsibly. In conclusion, intelligent multimedia has great potential to improve the quality of life, but its application must be carried out wisely, taking into account long-term impacts on society and culture.

This study presents the development and evaluation of an automatic passenger counting system for public buses using the YOLOv8 algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Accurate passenger counting plays a crucial role in optimizing public transportation operations, as it enables effective capacity management, reduces operational costs, and improves overall passenger comfort. Conventional manual counting methods are often inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to human error, particularly in high-density urban transportation environments. Therefore, an automated and intelligent solution is required to support real-time monitoring and operational decision-making. The proposed system employs deep learning-based object detection to identify and count passengers from video streams captured by cameras installed inside buses. Two camera positions, namely front and rear views, were evaluated to assess system performance under different visual conditions. The experimental results show that the system achieves high detection accuracy in the front camera view, with a confidence score of 0.82, indicating reliable performance in scenarios with minimal object occlusion. In contrast, the rear camera view demonstrates slightly lower accuracy, with a confidence score of 0.76, mainly due to increased object overlap and variations in lighting conditions. These findings emphasize the importance of appropriate camera placement and environmental consideration in improving detection reliability. In addition, the implementation of the proposed system enables real-time monitoring of passenger flow, which supports dynamic scheduling, demand-based route planning, and efficient fleet management. Accurate passenger data allows transportation operators to optimize service allocation, reduce congestion, and enhance overall service quality. Overall, this study contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems by demonstrating the practical applicability of deep learning-based passenger counting solutions. The proposed approach offers strong potential for real-world deployment in smart city environments, supporting the creation of more sustainable, efficient, and passenger-oriented public transportation services.

This article discusses the importance of planning in the learning process, which serves as a systematic guide to achieving educational goals. Planning is an organized process and mindset that supports the effectiveness of learning implementation. Education, as a means of humanizing individuals, aims to develop the quality of human resources that are not only profession-oriented but also equipped to face life’s challenges. With a dynamic and systematic approach, education needs to adapt to the times and societal needs, including aspects of educational autonomy and character development of individuals who are faithful, responsible, and productive.This study employs a literature review method, examining relevant theories and references to provide a theoretical foundation for learning planning. The discussion highlights that learning planning, such as lesson plans, syllabi, and teaching methods, plays a crucial role in helping teachers organize learning activities effectively. Professional mentoring is one of the strategies to enhance teaching quality, foster collaboration, and build a professional learning community in schools. Therefore, effective planning, supported by teacher competence and mentoring strategies, will comprehensively improve the quality of education.

This study aims to examine the role of the teaching assistance program in supporting grade IV student learning at MIS Fathul Iman Palangka Raya. Basic education, especially at the fourth grade level, plays an important role in the formation of students' cognitive, affective and psychomotor foundations. However, challenges in the implementation of learning, such as limited teaching staff, variations in student abilities, and limited time for individualized guidance, often hinder the achievement of effective learning. One of the proposed solutions is a teaching assistance program, where education students assist teachers in managing the classroom and give more attention to students who need additional guidance. This research reveals that teaching assistance can positively impact the learning process by creating a more interactive, inclusive and supportive learning environment for diverse students. It assists teachers in delivering materials, providing additional explanations and managing the classroom more effectively. In addition, the program also provides opportunities for students with different abilities to get the attention they need. Based on the results of the study, the teaching assistance program proved to be effective in improving the quality of learning and supporting students' optimal development.
