Abstract
This research aimed to: 1) design and develop a medical cannabis microlearning platform to provide academic services to cannabis growing community enterprises in Thailand; and 2) pilot and evaluate the platform’s usage and outcomes for these enterprises. This study employed a research and development methodology. The sample group comprised 108 cannabis growing community enterprises in Thailand and 10 ICT and educational innovation experts. The research process involved four phases: 1) user needs assessment, 2) platform design and development, 3) platform testing and evaluation, and 4) platform enhancement. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical software to determine means and standard deviations. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
The research findings indicated that: 1) The medical cannabis micro learning platform for Thai cannabis-growing community enterprises was developed using the ADDIE model process. Experts rated the platform as highly suitable for supporting practical medical cannabis learning, with a high level of quality. 2) Thai community enterprises expressed the highest level of satisfaction with the developed microlearning platform, which effectively enhanced their practical skills in cultivating quality medical cannabis and improved their micro learning platform usage skills.
