This study aimed at designing Virtual Reading Room (VRR Digi_Litikon) for learning batik in Vocational High Schools in Indonesia. The design was also a part of curriculum material improvement with the touch of information technology. As a web-based application, VRR Digi_Litikon saved all the contents and database on its server. It was also proven that it had frontend as its user interface. The user interface was also PHP-based with Code Igniter framework. The application was designed using Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method consisting of such phases as system engineering, analysis, design, coding/implementation, testing, and maintenance. The results of the application design were digital books equipped with scientific journal articles in relation to batik. The digital platforms designed for VRR Digi_Litikon enabled students to have information not only in a form of texts but also in audio/voices of the contents of a book they were learning. The application was tested in various devices and had been proven to be eligible to use as a learning media application particularly for learning batik in vocational high schools.
