Abstract :
The purposes of this research were to develop the M-learning with the application of Knowledge Management for the course in Eco-Packaging in order to find solutions to the issues of insufficient time spent for instruction in classroom, resulting in lack of proper practice, and paper waste for the design, resulting in high cost and visual assistant method for learning and developing ability of students.. The samples group of this study was 30 undergraduate students from department of Packaging Technology, Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut´s University of Technology Thonburi. The sample was obtained by using the simple random sampling method and used 5 experts for evaluation the application. The students could access the Interactive M-learning by downloading the application from the internet and learn by themselves. In each chapter of the M-learning, there were different kinds of eco-packaging along with relevant information. After learning in each chapter, the students needed to take a test before going out. When student would enter their own working space and could see their pieces of homework, which they were doing in digital format. Their records for activity and homework would be made automatically to KM method. The KM content could help another student to design the assigned packaging. Moreover, learners had more time to practice outside classroom also in anywhere and any place.
