The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly transformed learning management and instructional practices, including vocational photography education. One of the major challenges vocational schools face is making complex concepts in photography accessible to students. The goal of this study is to develop an Edpuzzle-based learning tool for basic photography concepts that employs interactive video to sustain student engagement and enhance understanding. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology based on the 4D model, encompassing the stages of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The learning media created include instructional videos with questions, real-time feedback, and guided learning activities. Experts conducted media validation to assess the construction, language, and technical quality of the learning material. Teachers and students completed questionnaires to assess the practicality of the items. The validation results indicate that all areas tested are highly valid, with Aiken's V values of 0.86 for learning material, 0.925 for construction, 0.895 for language, and 0.893 for technical aspects. Additionally, the practicality test yielded an average score of 4.5, indicating that users rated it highly for ease of understanding, ease of use, motivation to learn, and effectiveness in supporting learning. These results indicate that Edpuzzle-based learning media can be used in vocational photography instruction and are highly useful. The use of interactive videos and instant feedback helps students learn by increasing engagement and enabling self-directed learning. This study contributes to the development of technology-enhanced learning media in vocational education and provides a foundation for further research and wider implementation of interactive video-based instructional media. © 2026, Politeknik Negeri Padang.
