Statistical procedures for data analysis included the E1/E2, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results revealed that the framework provides excellent potential for development and evaluation. The study confirmed that for instruction to be successful, various aspects of the environment should be considered such as application of domain knowledge, conceptual theory, and evaluation of the overall quality of the designed environment. Educational media had the efficiency at the 82.5/80.5 efficiency criteria, students were learned from the packages achieved significant learning progress at the .05 level and their opinions were at the highly agreement level regarding the appropriateness of the instructional media.
