The development of digital learning media often requires repeated implementation of similar features such as quiz systems, video players, module navigation, and progress trackers in different applications. This study proposes a reusable prefab-based architecture on the Unity platform by applying the principles of Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). The developed architecture consists of seven core reusable components: Lobby, Module Layout, Material, Video Player, Quiz, Progress Tracker, and Main Setting Component. The study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a modified ADDIE model and is implemented using Unity 2022 LTS and the C# programming language. Evaluation is carried out through the implementation of component libraries in five different learning media applications. The results show that most components have a high reuse ratio, a maintainability index above 70, and low coupling dependencies, thus supporting system modularity and reusability. This study shows that a reusable prefab-based architecture can be an effective solution in the development of modular, flexible, and scalable digital learning media.
