Wichuda Doungchatom — 2024-09-23

Purpose: This study aimed to: 1) develop a virtual museum on local wisdom of miniature clay food models, and 2) evaluate visitor satisfaction with the virtual museum experience.

Methodology: The research employed a quantitative survey methodology to develop a virtual museum showcasing miniature clay food models representing Thai culinary wisdom. Research tools included: 1) the virtual museum on local wisdom of miniature clay food models, and 2) a questionnaire to assess visitor satisfaction using a convenience sample with 30 museum visitors. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation), while qualitative data underwent content analysis.

Findings: Overall visitor satisfaction was very high (M=4.72, SD=0.02). Satisfaction with specific aspects, ranked from highest to lowest, were as follows: 1) utilization and display (M=4.80, SD=0.16), 2) conservation (M=4.74, SD=0.15), and 3) education (M=4.61, SD=0.11).

Applications: This virtual museum on local wisdom of miniature clay food models can serve as an online educational resource for students at all levels, providing knowledge about modern technology, Thai culinary history, and food culture. It also offers a model for preserving and showcasing other forms of local wisdom.

Charinya Wangwatcharakul — 2024-09-23

Purpose: This research aims to design and develop effective media on the Metaverse platform, evaluate its quality, and study user engagement within this virtual learning environment. It utilizes modern media technology to create a new experience for learners in the Digital Business Computer Program at the Faculty of Management Science, Loei Rajabhat University.

Methodology: This study employed the ADDIE Model for the development process. The tools used included Spatial Metaverse for creating virtual spaces, infographics, animations, videos, and 3D models. Quality assessment was conducted by five experts, focusing on content, design, implementation and engagement. The sample group consisted of 400 students and undergraduates selected through random sampling. User engagement was assessed using a survey with a Likert scale.

Findings: The development of public relations media on the Metaverse platform for the Digital Business Computing program included the creation of infographics, animations, videos, and 3D models divided into three spaces: General Information, Activities, and Career Guidance and Alumni. Quality assessment by five experts rated all aspects at the highest quality level with the content receiving particular praise. User engagement feedback indicated that interactive content delivery, especially videos, significantly enhanced comprehension, while multimedia integration for critical thinking received the highest score. The platform effectively facilitated engagement and learning acquisition, with its easy-to-navigate interface and real-time interaction tools score of 4.67 and 4.55, respectively. Overall, the Metaverse platform demonstrated exceptional capability in supporting high levels of learners participation and engagement.

Applications of this study: This study demonstrates the Metaverse platform's potential to enhance engagement and learning across education, corporate training, public relations, and healthcare by creating immersive and interactive environments. These environments improve comprehension, participation, and skill development through the use of advanced digital media and virtual simulations.

Phuminun Bua-ngam — 2024-09-23

Purpose: To prevent and secure against issues regarding conversation data that may be accessed through screen capturing, which posting risks of leakage or misuse of important information.

Methodology: The research employed a Line BOT system that provides encryption and decryption services for conversations between interlocutors, serving as a tool to ensure communication security through the Line application. The system was tested by 50 personnel of the Royal Thai Air Force.

Findings: The application of the Line BOT system, which encrypts and decrypts messages between conversation partners, helps reduce the risk of repercussions from capturing conversation pages. Air Force personnel from all four regions evaluated the system and determined it to be effective, trustworthy in terms of security, operating correctly, convenient and stable.

Applications of this study: The results of this study can be used to address and mitigate security issues related to conversation data that could be obtained through screen captures.
