Background. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has significantly impacted corporate training methods. Traditional e-learning environments have been widely adopted, yet the emergence of ubiquitous learning (u-learning) presents a shift towards more flexible, context-aware learning experiences. Despite the growing interest, limited studies provide a comparative analysis between e-learning and u-learning in corporate settings. Purpose. This research aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of e-learning and u-learning environments in corporate training, focusing on learner engagement, content delivery, and overall performance. Method. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with corporate employees who participated in both e-learning and u-learning training programs. Data were collected across several multinational companies, and analyzed using statistical tools to identify performance trends and engagement metrics. Results. Findings reveal that u-learning environments enhance learner engagement and adaptability due to their flexibility in accessing content across diverse devices and contexts. Conversely, e-learning showed better outcomes in structured, course-driven scenarios but lacked the same level of interaction and contextual learning. Conclusion. The study concludes that u-learning environments provide a more personalized and engaging training experience, particularly for employees with diverse learning needs. Organizations should consider integrating u-learning strategies alongside traditional e-learning for more dynamic corporate training programs.

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies has transformed various aspects of modern life, from labor markets to public services. While AI offers potential for innovation and efficiency, it also raises significant concerns regarding social equity, especially for marginalized and underrepresented communities. These concerns highlight the need for a critical examination of how AI systems may reinforce or mitigate existing societal disparities. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities that AI poses to social equity in the age of automation. The research focuses on identifying potential biases in AI-driven decision-making processes and assessing the impact of automation on employment, education, and access to services. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with stakeholders from policy, tech industry, and affected communities, alongside quantitative analysis of labor and demographic data. This methodological design allows for a comprehensive understanding of both structural and experiential dimensions of AI’s impact. The findings reveal that while AI has the potential to improve service delivery and expand access to information, its deployment often reflects and amplifies existing inequalities when ethical and inclusive frameworks are absent. Particularly in automated hiring systems and predictive policing, biases embedded in algorithms disproportionately affect vulnerable groups. The study concludes that addressing AI's social equity implications requires intentional design, inclusive policy, and sustained public engagement. As automation continues to reshape society, equity must become a central consideration in AI development and governance.

The teaching of English as a foreign language in Indonesia continues to face challenges, particularly in identifying the most effective instructional approach. Previous studies have shown varying results when comparing communicative and grammar-based methods in language acquisition. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two dominant approaches: the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method and the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM) in improving English proficiency among secondary school students in Indonesia. Employing a quasi-experimental design, this research involved 120 students divided into two equal groups, each receiving instruction based on one of the approaches over a period of 12 weeks. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to measure students’ progress in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The results indicated that the CLT group significantly outperformed the GTM group, particularly in speaking and listening components, while the GTM group showed marginally better results in grammar and reading comprehension. The findings suggest that while both methods have merits, CLT offers a more balanced improvement in communicative competence. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on English pedagogy in EFL contexts and provides evidence-based recommendations for curriculum development in Indonesian schools.
