The Digital Content Creator: Virtual Tour of Historic Sites activity is an educational initiative aimed at introducing historical sites in Bengkulu through interactive digital media. This project was carried out by university students as part of a project-based learning component in the ELT Project course, by producing four educational videos in English featuring the Bengkulu Museum and the Exile House of Bung Karno. Each video incorporates thematic vocabulary related to history and culture, serving not only as an informative medium but also as a practical English language learning tool. The activity was designed to enhance historical awareness, digital skills, and students' communication abilities, while also reaching a broader audience through social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. The process involved research, scriptwriting, on-site filming, and video editing. Evaluation results indicate that while the project ran smoothly, technical aspects such as audio-visual quality and promotional strategies need improvement to optimize the content and attract viewers. Overall, the project demonstrates that a digital-based virtual tour approach can be an innovative and effective learning tool for cultural preservation as well as for improving historical and language literacy among the younger generation
