INTRODUCTION HAILAND and the world are changing rapidly due to the changing social environment. There are many changes such as the economy or knowledge economy, politics, society and technology, and espe cially in the field of digital communication and co mputer technology to make the world smaller. Local communities become the world community and shortens the time to communicate to the system as we call real time and online. If there are an y actions that occur from one hemisphere will affect all around the world. For exa mple, the economic crisis in Europe and the United States will affect the economy to the world immediately, through communication systems and i nformation technology such as the internet, Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Impact of change in information communication and technology (ICT) and new media [7], [9], the model of management education and learning changed enormously in the last decade, the classroom and laboratory to de velop into the virtual classroom, simulations and virtual experiments in teac hing distance learning and online systems or the b lended learning with no limit as to time and pl ace. It makes teaching the class was to learn online such as e-learning, and 100% online learning system in university of developed countries with more than 30% of all courses. There a re also many organizations that have developed a sys tem of distance education and o nline, including Khanaccademy.org. The development of learning through new media and the Internet, the world pop ulation has an education from elementary school to university. Courses are more than 1,000 stories and p rovide content knowledge Sumitra Nuanmeesri is with the f aculty of science and technol ogy, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Dusit, Bangkok, 10300 Thailand (phone: 662- 160-1145; fax: 662-160-1145; e-mail: sumitra.nu@ssru.ac.th). database courseware materials and resources for learning. The system provides the r egistration system, exercises, quizzes, and assessment of learning for people around the world without time limit on q ualifications and seniority. Users or students can self-learning and does not cost a fee. Nowadays, the distance education, online learning, and e- learning system were used instead of learnin g in a traditional school classroom would be even more. These are m ore affected by computer technology, communications and n ew media are developed a fast, easy, convenient to use, save time and money, flexible, virtualized and current. So, the students can study, an d learn endle ssly and forever by access to information and kn owledge base from system provided [5], [8], [11]. Thus, the sy stem of education and learn ing management systems of non-formal and formal, there are vital to keep pace with the development of such a change. And it requires developing and designing for distance education, online learning via new media, and e-learning. Otherwise, the education system learning and quality education of Thailand, it will no t grow up when compared to other countries in the world. In Thailand, the output quality of education, there are several problems and was retained for the result to be pushed a law occurred, there are the National Education Act B.E.2542 (1999) and amendments (second National Education Act .B.E. 2545 (2002) are affect the study to adjust the educational system, including the organization since its management education with the focus on quality is clearly the grade level indicators and adopted the metric level (office of the national education commission, 1999), the process of education is set to hold the education and skills such as curr iculum development, the proportion of the cu rriculum content and local material clearly [2]–[4]. The process of learning that focuses on the research as part of the process and participation of local knowledge in t he curriculum. The evalu ation process is based on authentic instruments indicate the efficacy of the curriculum each year. (The law article no . 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30) [6]. II. METHODOLOGY A.
