A case study was employed to investigate the implementation of project-based learning in instructional materials and media development classrooms. The stages involved in this study are, namely: 1) identifying the phenomenon, 2) identifying the research participants, 3) generating hypotheses, 4) collecting data, 5) analyzing data, and 6) interpreting data. Thirty five students were assigned to participate in this research and develop textbook as well as supplementary multimedia-based media following the steps in project-based learning comprising planning to develop textbook and multimedia-based media, monitoring, scaffolding, adjusting or troubleshooting strategies, assessing students and evaluating projects.
