This study employed a Research and Development (R&D)approach using the Borg & Gall model, which was limited to seven stages: (1)identifying potentials and problems, (2) data collection, (3) product design, (4)design validation, (5) design revision, (6) product testing, and (7) product revision.Data analysis techniques used qualitative and descriptive quantitative analysis,while product feasibility was assessed through material expert and media expertvalidation. The validation results showed that the average score from materialexperts was 91.7% in the “Very Good” category, while the average score from mediaexperts was 98.3% in the “Very Good” category.
