Abstract

This study addresses the contemporary approach of integrating digital technology into education, focusing on developing the Interior Design Digital Module (e-RekaD) as a teaching aid for Form Four Visual Arts Education. Following the ADDIE model, the research employed a descriptive quantitative design with qualitative data. The need analysis involved five experts and identified a significant demand for the module to enhance student understanding. Visual Art teachers showed enthusiasm for digital integration, anticipating improved pedagogical skills, especially in digital literacy. Overall, the study highlights the imperative role of digital modules in advancing Interior Design education within the framework of Education 4.0.
