An Application on 3G Mobile Phone and Two Dimension Barcode in Classroom Communication Support System

As a ubiquitous connection tool, we can see mobile phones being used widely and these days becoming particularly popular among adolescents. Currently in Japan, the invention of the two dimensional barcode or Quick Response (QR) code provides a convenient link for users to speedily enter web addresses into phones using the integrated mega pixel cameras. This paper focuses on the development of a classroom support system that combines mobile internet technology and QR code usage. The evaluation (which will be conducted in December, 2006 and May, 2007) will focus on how users make use of the QR code in the current system, which contains class attendance, class evaluation and student collaborative functions.
