Burapha University Credit Bank System Development Project.
Thailand has implemented a 20-year National Strategy (2018–2037), one of which is the National Strategy for Human Resource Development and Capacity Building. This strategy aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which aims to promote the holistic development of individuals across all dimensions and ages. A key focus is the development of a lifelong learning system that encourages individuals to learn and enhance their potential according to their personal needs. This system helps expand knowledge, experience, and career competencies that align with the demands of the labor market and the country’s development. It fills in gaps for development, or areas that are lacking, by building upon existing knowledge and integrating with the individual’s lifestyle throughout their life. Once the desired learning is completed, the accumulated credits can be stored in a credit bank system that emphasizes informal learning records, knowledge, and experience transfers.
The development of this credit bank system, aimed at promoting lifelong learning, is a project led by the Computer Center in collaboration with the academic division of Burapha University. Its objective is to create a model for the credit bank system that will support the university’s credit banking system, which in turn promotes lifelong learning.
For 2024, the Burapha University Credit Bank System Development Project aims to enhance the system to support lifelong learning. This project focuses on two main components:
1) Staff and Instructors: This system assists with the management of courses and programs, both for credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing courses. It includes recording course and program registration data for each faculty, setting timelines for course offerings, collecting tuition fees, issuing electronic receipts, managing online course content through the LMS system, recording and approving grades, and generating electronic certificates.
2) Students: This system allows students to easily search for available courses, register, and pay tuition fees conveniently and quickly by scanning a QR code through their bank’s application. Students can also access online learning via the LMS system, view grades at the end of the course, and download their electronic certificates and transcripts.
Additionally, the system facilitates user identity verification for students through the ThaiD application of the Department of Provincial Administration.
