A one-shot case study was employed and the qualitative approach was applied to analyze the data. The results are the following.1. The design and development of the learning innovation was based on constructivist theories and media attribution which included several important components, namely, 1) problem-based learning, 2) learning resources, 3) collaborative learning, 4) scaffoldings, and 5) coaching to encourage critical thinking and knowledge construction of the learners. 2.
