This study addresses the need for innovative learning media in higher education to enhance students’ independent learning, particularly in food science courses. The research aims to develop e-dictionary-based learning media using the Borg and Gall development model. Validation of the media was conducted by material and media experts. The results of the needs analysis show that e-dictionary-based media is highly required for food science courses. Expert validation yielded a material validation percentage of 84% (good category) and media validation of 88% (very good category). Limited trials with students resulted in 87% (very good), while field trials achieved 88.25% (very good). These findings indicate that e-dictionary-based media is suitable for use, especially for introducing cooking herbs and spices. Furthermore, the integration of Android technology supports learning innovation and facilitates more interactive, independent student learning.
