Using hyperdata in a laboratory of electronics QR codes applied to experimental learning

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are a privileged instrument to promote and facilitate meaningful student learning. The use of multi-media resources and virtual learning environments has already been adopted in many higher education institutions as part of a mixed learning process. Another tool available for teaching innovation is augmented reality (AR), which allows a combination of digital and physical information in real time using different technological devices. Within the augmented reality, we can find several levels, which start with the 2D codes (QR codes). This work proposes the generation of a set of multi-media resources, accessible by means of QR codes, for the practical sessions in a laboratory of Electronics. With these resources, additional and contextual information is offered, which can be accessed when the student requires it, thus improving the experimental learning process.
