This study aims to comprehensively identify and map various models, strategies, and approaches to Christian Religious Education (CRE) learning that integrate digital technology with Christian values and their relevance to the formation of moral character in Generation Z, and to analyze Christian principles that need to be maintained along with innovative learning strategies to overcome the moral challenges of Generation Z in the digital era. This research uses a literature review method by analyzing 25 scientific journal articles published in 2023-2025 through thematic analysis techniques. The results show that there are five models of digital technology integration in CRE learning: platform-based digital learning, contextual-digital learning, collaborative-participatory learning, artificial intelligence-based learning, and hybrid learning. Implementation strategies include the use of interactive multimedia content, social media ministry, online learning communities, digital project-based learning, and immersive technology. Christian principles that need to be maintained include the supremacy of God's Word, learning centered on relationship with God, the importance of faith community, digital integrity, and balance between digital and direct spiritual experiences. This research provides theoretical contributions in the form of comprehensive mapping of technology integration in CRE and practical contributions in the form of recommended learning strategies that can be implemented to shape the moral character of Generation Z in the digital era.  

This research examines legal protection against child sexual exploitation through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, which are increasingly developing in the digital era. AR combines virtual elements with the real world, while VR creates a fully immersive environment. Both offer positive opportunities and serious risks, including new crime modes such as the creation of avatars or virtual models of children for sexual purposes, grooming in virtual spaces, and the distribution of immersive child pornography. Anonymity, the difficulty of age verification, the lack of digital literacy, and the forensic challenges of 3D content are significant obstacles to law enforcement. Existing regulations, including Law No. 17 of 2016 concerning Child Protection, Law No. 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the ITE Law, and Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning the TPKS, have provided a strong legal basis, but do not specifically regulate AR/VR technology. A normative juridical research method with a statutory and conceptual approach is used to analyze existing norms, regulatory gaps, and their relevance to international standards such as the Budapest Convention and the Lanzarote Convention. The research findings emphasize the urgency of adaptive regulatory updates to technological developments, the implementation of cybersecurity standards, mandatory age verification, and strengthening the capacity of law enforcement officers in digital investigations and AR/VR forensics. Cross-border and cross-sector collaboration is needed to expedite notice and takedown mechanisms and close legal loopholes exploited by perpetrators. These efforts are expected to create a safe digital environment for children and increase the effectiveness of legal protection in the realm of immersive technology.

Web-Based Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging interactive technology that is increasingly adopted in the fields of visual communication design and digital education. This study aims to analyze trends in the use of Web-Based AR within interactive design contexts and to identify user preferences regarding its features. The research employs a literature review and secondary data analysis, drawing from academic publications, industry reports, and online surveys conducted between 2019 and 2024. The findings reveal a significant increase in the adoption of Web-Based AR both globally and in Indonesia. Key factors driving adoption include interactivity without installation, cross-device compatibility, and rapid browser-based access. Trend diagrams, comparative tables of AR platforms (such as 8thWall, ZapWorks, and WebXR API), and user preference visualizations are presented to support the analysis. The study discusses technological challenges, adoption gaps, and design implications, particularly in education and marketing. Limitations include reliance on secondary data and limited geographic scope. The study’s outcomes are expected to serve as a reference for interactive content developers, educators, and researchers in designing inclusive and adaptive AR-based user experiences.
