2D Barcode and Augmented Reality Supported English Learning System

Abstract

This study aims to construct a 2D barcode handheld augmented reality supported learning system called HELLO (handheld english language learning organization), to improve students' English level. The HELLO integrates the 2D barcodes, the Internet, augmented reality, mobile computing and database technologies. The proposed system consists of two subsystems: an English learning management system and a mobile learning tools system. A four-week pilot study and questionnaire survey were conducted in college to evaluate effects of proposed learning system and student learning attitudes. Furthermore, the evaluation results indicate that 2D barcodes and augmented reality technology are useful for English learning.
