Hyderabad: Starting next academic year, students of primary schools can view and self-learn lessons by scanning Quick Response (QR) codes on textbooks using smartphones. Each QR code comes embedded with one or more videos/visuals that will help students understand the concept in the particular subject clearly and also achieve defined learning outcomes.

School Education Department has decided to print these QR codes on textbooks of all subjects for Classes I to V. The codes can be scanned on an Android phone or tablet which will navigate to related content available on Diksha app/web portal. Accordingly, the State Council of Educational Research and Training, a wing of the School Education Department, is designing and developing interactive and self-learning content.

“The content designing and developing has commenced and all textbooks of primary classes will have QR codes from next academic year,” an SCERT official said.

Each textbook comes with two codes, one each on the front and back of the book. Besides this, each lesson will have two codes that will navigate students to learn specific content and also practice papers for assessment.

Apart from aiding students in self-learning, the QR codes can also be used by teachers to make their teaching more interactive and effective in classrooms.

Initially, these codes were launched for four textbooks of Class VIII as part of a pilot project in 2019-20. During the academic year 2020-21, this facility was extended to 12 non-language textbooks of Classes VIII and IX. Further in the academic year 2021-22, the codes were introduced for all textbooks of Classes VI to X.

The facility has evoked a good response from students of high schools. As per details available with the SCERT, there were a total of 4,29,405 QR code scans, 7,467 content downloads, and 5,32,978 content played for 21,132 hours during the academic year 2020-21. “As schools were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a large number of high school students have used these QR codes for self-learning in 2021-22. Students can learn a lesson at their own pace,” official said.
