QR CODE ENABLED MUSEUM

Objectives of the Practice
  • To Promote self-paced learning and information beyond books
  • To leverage technological advancements in order to enhance the educational experience for students pursuing medical education.
The Context

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional matrix barcode that can store data in a compact form. The information (text, URLs, or other data) is encoded into a pattern of black and white squares. The QR code could be read using a smartphone camera directly or through a dedicated reader.

QR code enabled information stand for each specimen.

Instant access to reliable and thoroughly checked information on all specimens of museum. Up-to-date information. Realtime tracking of QR scans enables department to understand student needs and cater to it. All information can be accessed online, downloaded and shared.

  1. Self paced learning : The QR code learning paves students with interesting way of learning, which not only enlightens the knowledge but also quicker access to the contents anywhere and anytime.
  2. Tracking : The QR enabled learning gives us an insight data about the access to students and real time information about the total reach to the students. This data can help us in formulating ideas about ways of learning.
  3. Curiosity : The newer methods of learning such as QR code will awaken the curiosity among students which will make them more curious about different topics to learn.
