Abstract
Leveraging QR codes in medical education enhances student motivation, autonomy and engagement. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the use of QR codes as educational tools among 106 Phase 3 MBBS students in India, utilizing online resources such as lecture slides and quizzes. Data collected through surveys and focus group discussions revealed that 98.11% of participants were familiar with QR codes. Data indicated improved engagement and convenience in accessing educational content, although opinions varied on their comfort and effectiveness compared to traditional methods. While QR codes enrich learning experiences, challenges like technology access and internet connectivity must be addressed.
