Pedagogical innovation using online technology gives advantages in improving student’s achievement and creating meaningful learning. The aim of this study is to develop e-DuFoto in producing meaningful learning and to enhance the skills of the basic techniques of photography among trainee teachers. This research involved feasibility study, needs analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation and modelling of 100 trainee teachers. Questionnaires, group interviews protocol and assignment were used in data collection. Usefulness of e-DuFoto was tested on the aspect of design, pedagogy, content quality, functionality and self-access. Usefulness data of e-DuFoto System was measured descriptively using mean. Final assessment was done using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique to obtain three measurement models with the recommended loading value for the three latent variables. The structural equation modelling was applied to test the hypotheses of the study. Finding showed e-DuFoto System (i) has high usefulness with an overall average exceeding 4.50 mean (ii) blended learning has a very significant effect on the basic mastery of Photography skills and significant level for meaningful learning. Overall, the use of e-Dufoto System provide a new dimension in the online learning approach at Institute of Teacher Education to enhance students' mastery of basic skills of Photography techniques.
