Abstract

The aim of this research is the exploration of the appearance, development, evolution of the Quick Response (QR-codes) and the feasibility of their using in the context of modern education. The authors of this article have shown that QR-codes can be interpreted as specific codes that are quickly readable by smartphones. QR-codes allow connection of real objects with any additional web content. Scanning QR-codes conveys a wide multitude of information, in particular educational materials. The paper emphasizes that оver the past years QR-codes have a wide range of uses across all types of industries and other spheres, specifically retail, marketing, advertising and logistics, etc. The authors have shown that the use of QR-codes in the field of education can be interesting and accessible in the context of the relevance of learning with the using of modern devices, and mobile learning. The research shows that the implementation of the modern technologies can contribute to the learning visible outcomes. The research presents the prerequisites and algorithm for the successful and methodically motivated use of QR-codes in education, especially language learning. It is noted, that QR-codes make it possible to combine educational material with additional web content, traditional learning environment with virtual. The attention is paid to technical means that provide access to encoded educational information. It is noted, that students must have special smartphones, cameras and a corresponding mobile application, downloaded to the phone for the successful using of QR-codes. The technical component contributes to the successful completing of assignments with QR-codes. In this context, applications that allow the combination of digital and physical information in real time through the use of mobile devices have special relevance. The technical characteristics of this tool in education can get extra motivation in students, since it involves a game in a natural format for them. In addition, the article presents the results of an experiment, conducted to clarify the purposes and areas of the use of QR-codes, applying them to access educational content
