Implementation of Quick Response (QR) Code as a Teaching-Learning Tool-An Interventional Study

The potential enhancement of teaching and learning through Quick Response (QR) codes and mobile devices offers students customized, relevant, and real-world learning experiences. As students control their education more, institutions must ensure convenient access to online content. This study's plan involves implementing QR codes in the departmental museum to provide students with supplementary information and interactive content. We plan to use QR codes in our departmental museum to enhance the learning experience. QR codes will allow students to access additional information and interactive content related to the exhibits. Settings and Design: An interventional study conducted in a Forensic Medicine museum setting. Created Quick Response codes (QR codes) linked to study materials for each museum specimen. Divided students into two groups: one scanned QR codes during museum visits for instant access to study material, while the other used traditional catalogs. A Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) test assessed the effectiveness of QR codes as a teaching tool. The collected data underwent a thorough error-checking process, followed by data entry in MS Excel. Subsequently, the data was analyzed using the latest SPSS 11.0 software. The response indicates that students generally agree that QR codes are helpful in improving their comprehension, analysis, and exploration of subjects linked to museum exhibits and medicolegal work. QR codes can completely transform education and give students access to interactive, adaptable and lifetime learning opportunities.
