Abstract

Conclusion. The research finds that learningsundanese.com can be identified as a digital innovation and a cultural space for transformative learning, aligning with the principles of Society 5.0. In practice, the results imply that teachers and policymakers can encourage analogous local-language online programs by integrating cultural content and establishing cooperation with cultural communities. The study will aid in formulating humanistic, contextual, and technology-mediated models of learning that intersect in innovation and cultural sustainability.
