Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital journalism learning module oriented toward anti-gender discrimination and the prevention of sexual violence in higher education. Using a quantitative approach, surveys were conducted with 148 students and interviews with three lecturers in West Java. Analysis revealed that 94% of respondents support integrating anti-gender discrimination concepts into journalism learning materials. The module development follows the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), ensuring its relevance to practical needs. The results indicate that multimedia-based digital modules (text, images, audio, video) are perceived as more interactive and effective, aligning with Richard E. Mayer's Multimedia Learning Theory. The study also found positive relationships between digital modules, anti-gender content, learning preferences, and student engagement. These modules enhance not only students' journalistic skills but also their social awareness of gender issues and sexual violence, supporting the implementation of Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence, policies in higher education. This study recommends integrating digital media as an adaptive learning solution aligned with e-learning trends. The modules are expected to foster an inclusive and ethical educational environment, preparing students for the dynamic media industry. Furthermore, adopting these modules enhances the competitiveness of higher education institutions in meeting modern digital education demands. © 2026 GMP Press and Printing.
