Students’ Perception on the Use of QR Code-Based Learning Notes as an Innovative Teaching and Learning Tool

Abstract

Almost all adults have a smartphone, at least one for each person. The community college students, who are almost 100 per cent teenagers in the age range of 18-23, are no exception to having a smartphone, as it seems to have become a necessity of life nowadays. This powerful gadget has a variety of interesting functions and can simplify the daily affairs of life if it is utilised in the right and effective channel. This innovation was developed to make it easier for students to access the Computer Installation Course notes more easily and comfortably, as long as there is internet access on their phones. Easy-to-access notes allow students to revise at a time of their own discretion. All this will speed up their process of recognising computer components and, in turn, make it easier for them to perform the work of installing computer components as contained in the course structure. A survey of 30 respondents, consisting of Information Technology Certificate students, was conducted and analysed using SPSS version 26 software to obtain feedback from respondents on the implementation of this 1Page IT Reminder. Findings revealed a high level of satisfaction among respondents, particularly regarding the website content and accessibility. Moreover, the system supports sustainable practices by replacing traditional paper-based notices with a single digital sheet, significantly reducing paper consumption. The 1Page IT Reminder demonstrates that integrating mobile technology into technical education can enhance learning efficiency while promoting environmental sustainability.
