The purposes of this research were to 1) develop an online lesson on Educational Media Production for undergraduate students in the Educational Technology and Communication Program at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University to meet the established efficiency standard; 2) compare students' learning achievement before and after using the online lesson; and 3) study students' opinions about the online lesson. The research sample comprised 39 undergraduate students in the Educational Technology and Communication Program at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, obtained by simple random sampling. The research instruments included 1) an online lesson on Educational Media Production; 2) two parallel forms of achievement tests for pre-testing and post-testing; and 3) a questionnaire on students' opinions toward the online lesson.
