QR Code Lecture Activity as a Tool for Increasing Nonmajors Biology Students’ Enjoyment of Interaction with Their Local Environment

Abstract

The impact of the Internet on education has been recognized for decades, and as technology advances, the ways in which students can access Internet content is ever increasing. Most students have some kind of portable smart device with which they access Internet content without the locational constraints of a desktop computer. This mobility has prompted abundant literature suggesting ways that Quick Response Codes (QR codes), a kind of two dimensional barcode, could be used to advance student learning. However, very few studies have tested the usefulness of QR codes in undergraduate science classes. We report on our development of a campus “scavenger hunt” activity using QR codes. We found that this activity develops application skills of the concepts of native and invasive species and enjoyment of coverage of content relative to traditional lecture in a nonmajors Environmental Science class at a four-year teaching institution.

“…In the 1990s, the international circulation field praised the barcode as the "identity card" for commodities to enter the international computer market [25,26]. Now the various countries and regions in the world generally use bar code technology, the application field of which is has become increasingly wide, and its use has gradually penetrated into all areas of peoples' living and production.…”

Selain itu, penelitian [8]- [10] memaparkan penggunaan kode QR dalam bidang pendidikan dan museum. Pada bidang kesehatan pun kode QR memiliki peran dalam memberikan informasi seperti dalam penelitian [11]- [13].…”

Next generation of chemistry and biochemistry conference posters: Animation, augmented reality, visitor statistics, and visitors' attention

“…In fact, a hyperlink for the physical object is generated easily by an online, freely available QR code generators which further can be scanned to allow direct access to digital content. 18 QR code have many applications in scientific communications including libraries, 19 classrooms, 18,20,21 and especially in chemistry and biochemistry education. [22][23][24][25][26] The main aim of the present work is introducing QR code in poster preparation and its advantages in expanding the critical thinking with regard to visual media in poster presentation of conferences.…”
