Abstract
Distance learning in various educational institutions poses significant challenges in creating effective interaction between lecturers and students. This study aims to analyze the implementation of technology-based learning model innovations to enhance student engagement in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Study Program at STAI Al-Falah Cicalengka, Bandung. A mixed-method descriptive approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data obtained through interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires. Statistical analysis showed a correlation coefficient of 0.85, indicating a strong positive relationship between student engagement and the use of technology in learning. These results suggest that technology-based learning model innovations can optimize the learning experience and improve the quality of education in Islamic higher education.
