Abstract

The increasing reliance on mobile technology in education has led to the rapid development of educational mobile applications. However, many of these applications fail to effectively support learning due to poor design, lack of pedagogical alignment, and limited user engagement. Ensuring that mobile applications adhere to best practices in educational technology is crucial for enhancing learning outcomes and user experience. This study aims to identify and analyze best practices for designing educational mobile applications that optimize usability, engagement, and pedagogical effectiveness. A qualitative research approach was employed, incorporating a systematic literature review and expert interviews to evaluate key design principles. Findings indicate that successful educational mobile applications integrate user-centered design, adaptive learning strategies, gamification elements, and evidence-based pedagogical frameworks. Furthermore, accessibility features and interactive interfaces play a significant role in fostering learner motivation and retention. The study concludes that adherence to these best practices can significantly enhance the effectiveness of educational mobile applications. Implementing user-driven design, personalization, and interactive learning mechanisms ensures greater engagement and improved learning outcomes. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term impact of these design principles on diverse learner populations and educational settings.

Abstract

Sexting as a form of digital sexual self-disclosure has become increasingly common among young people in Indonesia. The Hyperpersonal Communication Model (HCM) theory was originally developed to explain text-based online interaction, while contemporary digital intimacy now involves multimodal communication, risk awareness, privacy concerns, and trust negotiation. This study aims to develop a contextual HCM model by integrating digital sexual self-disclosure, perceived digital intimacy, selective self-presentation, idealized perception, and risk awareness in explaining sexting behavior in Indonesia. This research used a mixed-methods, sequential, explanatory design. The quantitative phase involved a survey of 300 respondents aged 18–35 years in five major Indonesian cities and was analyzed using SPSS Version 27. The qualitative phase involved in-depth interviews with 20 selected participants to explore the subjective meanings of sexting experiences. The findings show that Digital Sexual Self-Disclosure is the strongest predictor of Perceived Digital Intimacy (β=0.412), while 68.7% of respondents reported having engaged in sexting. Risk Awareness was also positively correlated with Perceived Digital Intimacy (r=0.387), suggesting that risk awareness may encourage explicit boundary negotiation and trust-building rather than reduce intimacy. Qualitative findings reveal a gradual escalation pattern from text to photo and video, with each stage shaped by trust tests and privacy considerations. This study expands HCM theory by proposing trust negotiation as a fifth mechanism alongside Walther’s four classical mechanisms, emphasizing trust-based gradual disclosure shaped by Indonesian socio-cultural norms. Practically, the findings highlight the need for digital literacy programs that address consent, boundary negotiation, privacy protection, and safer intimate communication among young adults.
