This study aimed to develop a digital sociology module based on multicultural learning to enhance students’ learning outcomes. The research followed the Research and Development method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The population consisted of 473 students, and the sample included 194 students and four teachers selected purposively based on their previous experience in teaching sociology with a digital module. Data were collected through questionnaires, expert validation sheets, user assessment sheets, and interviews. The results indicated that all teachers had used the digital sociology module for improving learning outcomes, but not all of them utilized enrichment materials from the government. Additionally, teachers showed interest in further developing the digital sociology module based on multicultural learning. The expert validation revealed that the digital sociology module was feasible with a very good rating. Furthermore, based on limited trials with sociology teachers and students, the prototype was deemed feasible with a very good category. A recommendation for future researchers is to maximize the learning process on a larger scale by involving a combination of schools or institutions.
