Scan & Learn! Use of mobile technology with Quick Response (QR) codes in gross anatomy laboratory

Grant Name
SIT Advancement for Learning and Teaching (SALT)

Abstract

To facilitate integration of technology and to actively engage the students in learning process, Quick Response (QR) codes will be embedded to various learning materials. However, although QR codes are a cost-effective way of delivering digital information at hand, there is still little information on its use in medical education. Hence this project aims to develop innovative teaching and learning methodology for the Gross Human Anatomy module for allied-health students using mobile technology with QR codes.

A pre-recorded video of a practical session will be linked with a two-dimensional square pattern. This study aims to identify student perceptions on the usefulness of QR codes as learning aids in the module, evaluate whether this learning aid will make an impact on their practical performance, and whether performance could be explained by the frequency of QR code usage.
