Mobile learning isn’t just for re-packaging eLearning. It is about going to where the learner is ... out in the real world, beyond the computer. The tried and true method for reaching people in the real world has been the QR code, but we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of what can be done with this simple tool. Because it can open any content, the QR code affords the designer an opportunity to make a lot of things happen for the learning experience.
In this session participants will explore new approaches for using QR codes for learning. You will examine ways to augment and enhance existing learning design via QR codes. You will discover how QR codes can be used to create entirely new learning experiences. You will discuss workplace applications for QR codes.
