Factors Affecting Students' Satisfaction Toward E-Learning in Thailand International Journal for e-Learning Security (IJeLS), Volume 2, Issue 2, September 2012 Online Robotics Course: Factors Affecting Students’ Satisfaction toward e-Learning in Thailand Wichian Premchaiswadi, Parham Porouhan Nucharee Premchaiswadi Graduate School of IT in Business Faculty of Information Technology Siam University Dhurakij Pundit University Abstract paper is to develop a comprehensive online course in robotics that encompasses various fields that are Recently,“Robo Siam1” team from Siam integral to robotic systems: Electrical and Computer University won The Best Creativity Awards in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Robot@Home Championship 2011 and received the Science programs preferably. Many students begin privilege of representing Thailand in the global-level engineering or science study with no practical “World RoboCup : Robot@Home 2012” contest in experience in robotics issues. Most have never even Mexico. seeking further success in the prospective touched a robot, never built one, and written a robotics competitions, motivated the university to computer program to control the robot. A well- develop an optional robotics course (not core structured web-based robotics course was planned to course) — for those sophomore students of Electrical aid in the development of practical skills, interest, and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and deep learning amongst Siam University students. and Computer Science programs— who voluntarily The main challenge in the development of an online are interested to know more about robots and course in robotics was to effectively review the learning online. The course was designed based on course organization in terms of content and the open source DARwIn-OP (Dynamic complexity to make it acceptable and enjoyable to Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence - Open undergraduate students. In this paper we presented a Platform). The winning team — and couple of robotics course for sophomore of Electrical and sophisticated IT lectures— were appointed to design Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and the syllabus and the course modules. Moreover, two Computer Science programs at Siam University. lab sessions per week were dedicated to the design Unlike many robotics courses offered in various module of the course. From the theory (e-Learning) academic institutions, this course combined classical perspective, students learned how to setup, configure robotics concepts such as robot manipulator and program specific functions of a DARwIn-OP kinematics, dynamics and control, with robot humanoid robot. In general, the course consisted of programming techniques. Students were able to four main modules: (1) Motion, (2) Vision, (3) watch the online tutorial videos, download the Hardware, and (4) Miscellaneous robotics topics. provided files and documents, and increase their C++ From the hardware perspective, students learned programming skills and so on. Furthermore, at the about the hardware components of a DARwIn-OP end of every week, they had the chance to attend robot such as actuators, sensors, display and practical workshops developing the computer interfaces. Overall, the online course taught students programs that control the robot and direct them to do on how to setup, configure and program specific the assigned online tasks. functions of a DARwIn-OP humanoid robot. The The robotics course was designed and objective of the paper is to identify the most implemented based on the development of open significant factors affecting students’ satisfaction source DARwIn-OP for the first time in May 2012 at toward the developed course. The findings show that Siam University.

Siam University (SU) is one of the leading Thai comprehensive private universities of which “Sustainability” is one of the main missions. The mission is guided by the concept of “Sustainable Development (SD)” and the principle of “Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP)” bestowed by the late King Rama IX. SU has endorsed many sustainability policies and projects including those concerned with ecosystem and water management system. Our target groups include SU staff and students as well as members in Phasi Charoen district. SU has encouraged water conservation and management policies and practices including reduction of water usage program for quite some time. Although piped water is still mainly used, we have installed automated hand washing taps counting to more than 75% of total water appliances. Water from the campus natural pond is used and reused for gardening and washing. After this initial stage, we have planned to do more programs concerning water recycling, reuse, and treatment system under the principle of SEP. Considering that our pond and surrounding canals are connected to Phasi Charoen communities, we hope that our water conservation and management system will not only lead to a more sustainable campus but also a more sustainable district.

' 7 ~.. ~ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation came in existence by two stimuli. One is that once I was a student in Communication Arts Faculty at Chulalongkom University at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and the other is the chance of teaching in the field at Siam University. Both stimuli acted as personal internal drives. The Communication Arts Curriculum could serve not only students and society but also labor market needs. I felt very fortunate of being one of the staff at Siam University under the most remarkable captain-our most respected President Mr. Pomchai Monkhonvanit. He and the University's Council are not only the administrative fiat but also the administrative guidance and care about development ideas. The cohort doctoral Program was born with full support of Siam University and College of Education at Oklahoma State University; and I am one in our group who wins the first prize. Therefore, please kindly accept my appreciation. I am indebted to all the OSU Professors, especially Dr. Margaret M. Scott, my research adviser and Dr. Adrienne E. Hyle (our Mother Hyle) for their patience, care, share, piloting and providing feedback for us all. "Men work together," I told him from the heart.
