A massage learning kit embedded sensors and a smart tracking system employed the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to develop and create modern innovative learning material by using force sensors to measure the force response for the study of Applied Thai Traditional Massage. The pressure level of the finger is significant for Thai massage as it needs gentle pressure to relax the whole body. Therefore, it is crucial for learners to practice the techniques of applying pressure using thumbs and fingers and adjust the degree of pressure. Consequently, the learning kit embedded sensors and a tracking system was developed to enhance learners’ motivation and engagement in learning for practicing Thai massage. Learners would actively study and practice from trial-and-error learning as the learning kit can show the degree of pressure which increase the understanding of the lesson and promote effective classroom participation in learning making real differences in students' skill when compared with the traditional classroom.
