Abstract


The Industrial Revolution 4.0 brings significant technological advancements, reshaping industries, societies, and education. This paper examines the impact of technology on curriculum development, focusing on digital tools such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and learning management systems (LMS). These technologies enhance curriculum personalization, improve accessibility, and foster collaborative learning environments. However, challenges like the digital divide, insufficient infrastructure, and limited digital literacy among educators persist. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. This study highlights strategies to address these challenges, including fostering educators' digital competencies, investing in infrastructure, and developing inclusive and adaptive curricula. Collaboration among policymakers, educational institutions, and private stakeholders is crucial for building a curriculum that prepares students for a technology-driven future.
