Reducing the spatial distance between printed and online information sources by means of mobile technology enhances learning: Using 2D barcodes

A QR-Based Materials Building System to Support Outdoor Teaching Activities

“…First, QR codes can scan and encode large amounts of data, such as URLs, text, or numerical characters, etc. Secondly, the low technical barrier of creating and reading QR codes allows educators to include teaching content in the context of u-learning [15]. Thus, QR code technology can be feasibly applied to mobile devices in different various context-aware u-learning environments.…”

Secondary-Task Effects on Learning With Multimedia: An Investigation Through Eye-Movement Analysis

“…The instructional materials consisted of five screen pages that were adapted from the learning scenario employed by Ozcelik and Acarturk (2011). The instructional materials were on the Domain Name System (DNS), a concept in computer networks.…”

Measuring the effects of visual scan codes in advertising

“…However, the popularity of QR codes came later with the introduction of smart phones enabling the user to scan a code anywhere and from nearly any kind of surface or object. Easy in use, the QR code found its application in many areas: in medicine for issuing prescriptions and patient identification (Lin et al, 2012), in education for engaging students through new multimedia materials (Law, 2012;Ozcelik and Acarturk, 2011), in museums for delivering information about exhibited items (Canadi et al, 2010), in libraries for quick access to information and e-books downloading (Lamb and Johnson, 2013;Lo et al, 2013), even in train tickets in China, on business cards and personalised T-shirts.…”

“…Although there are several studies devoted to the acceptance of QR code technology (Okazaki et al, 2011;Shin et al, 2012;Watson et al, 2013), little is known about the effects of QR codes. The research has shown that 2D bar codes may enhance learning (Ozcelik and Acarturk, 2011). It was found that the attitudes towards advertising with QR codes or QR code loyalty programs are likely to be more positive in low involvement than in high involvement conditions (Narang et al, 2012;.…”
