Abstract—The objective of this research was to develop an
instructional model to enhance digital technology and digital
content development skills. The model consisted of four
components: lectures, hands-on exercises, group projects, and
online learning resources. To identify the underlying
components of the model, factor analysis was conducted. The
factor analysis results showed that the four components
explained a cumulative 90.2% of the variance in the learning
model. The learning model was delivered over 16 weeks and
covered topics such as digital technology basics, graphics and
animation design, virtual learning technology, digital content
marketing, collaboration and communication tools, social media
and digital marketing, and ethics and privacy in the digital
world. The model’s effectiveness was assessed using quantitative
and qualitative methods, including t-tests and Pearson
correlations. The results of the t-tests indicated a significant
improvement in both digital technology skills and digital content
development skills after participation in the learning model (p <
0.05). The Pearson correlations further showed a strong
relationship between digital technology and digital content
development skills (r = 0.78, p < 0.01).
