The backward design with virtual learning ecosystem aims to enhance design and innovative ideas as an application that simulates a virtual learning environment where students can interact with the simulated environment using their smartphones and digital goggles. This approach allows continuous, limitless self-learning based on cloud computing and social network, a guideline for the 21st century skill training that focuses on the learner, and enhance design and innovative ideas. This research aims were to (1) develop a backward design with virtual learning ecosystem to enhance design thinking and innovation skills, (2) study posttest learning achievement after application of the backward design with virtual learning ecosystem to enhance design thinking and innovation skill, (3) study design thinking skills assessment of students after using the backward design with virtual learning ecosystem to enhance design thinking and innovation skills, and (4) study posttest innovation of students after using backward design with virtual learning ecosystem to enhance design thinking and innovation skills. The sample group in this study is divided into 2 groups, i.e., (1) the seven experts in design and development of information technology media and technology digital media selected from various educational institutes, and (2) the 20 undergraduates from Digital Media Technology Program, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University currently enrolled in the DMT60711 Development of Mobile Application course.
