Abstract

This study investigates sustainable strategies in education by examining the adoption of digital circular economy principles, aiming to address the growing need for resource efficiency within educational systems. As educational institutions face pressures to reduce environmental impact and enhance sustainability, integrating circular economy practices offers promising pathways. The objective of this research is to explore how digital tools and circular principles can be effectively applied to minimize waste and promote resource regeneration in academic settings. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys across several institutions actively implementing circular economy initiatives. Data was collected from educators, administrators, and students to assess the impact of digital circular models on resource management, cost-efficiency, and environmental awareness. Findings indicate that digital circular economy strategies, including digital resource sharing platforms and waste reduction initiatives, significantly enhance both operational sustainability and educational outcomes by fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. Furthermore, the adoption of these strategies has led to measurable reductions in material waste and increased awareness of sustainable practices among students and staff. The research concludes that digital circular economy principles are not only viable but also essential for creating a sustainable educational environment that aligns with global sustainability goals. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders in education seeking to develop sustainable frameworks and underline the importance of continued investment in digital circular economy initiatives to support long-term educational and environmental objectives.

Abstract

Digital transformation and strengthening local brand identity are key to encouraging creative economic empowerment based on local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the influence of creative communication strategies, brand personality, digital marketing engagement, user-generated content, and social media platform interactivity on the effectiveness of village community empowerment programs. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) methods through SmartPLS software, data were collected from 300 respondents involved in a local potential-based digital entrepreneurship program. The results show that creative communication strategies and interactive social media platforms significantly increase digital participation and community emotional connection to local products. Brand personality and user-generated content also contribute positively to creative business image and market appeal. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating local values into digital branding narratives to create differentiation and consumer loyalty. These findings provide practical implications for stakeholders in designing empowerment policies and programs that are technology based yet rooted in local culture. Thus, this study contributes to the development of a sustainable and inclusive village creative economy ecosystem in the digital era.

Abstract

The global shift towards digital education accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed ongoing challenges in ensuring equitable access and personalized learning experiences among diverse student populations. This study aims to investigate the potential of adaptive e-learning technology in enhancing accessibility and individualization within the context of distance education, particularly for students from marginalized communities and remote geographical areas. By employing a mixed-methods approach, this research involved a survey of 312 students from various demographic backgrounds, as well as in-depth case studies at two institutions that have implemented adaptive learning systems. The findings indicate that students using adaptive platforms experienced significant improvements in learning engagement, with 74% reporting better understanding and 61% noting increased motivation compared to their peers using conventional online learning methods. The adaptive systems also demonstrated the ability to tailor content based on the pace, preferences, and prior knowledge of learners, effectively narrowing achievement gaps. Furthermore, accessibility features such as language customization, device compatibility, and offline usability proved crucial in supporting inclusivity. This study concludes that the integration of adaptive e-learning technology in distance education can play a transformative role in addressing educational disparities by aligning instruction with the unique needs of learners while expanding access to quality digital education. These findings hold significant value for policymakers, educational technologists, and institutions seeking sustainable and inclusive strategies that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.
