Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 72Reducing the Spatial Distance Between Printed and Online Information Sources by Means of Mobile Technology Enhances Learning: Using 2d Barcodes(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Ozcelik, Erol; Acarturk, CengizOnline information sources, such as pictures and animations on web pages are frequently used for complementing printed course material in educational contexts. The concurrent use of online and printed information sources by students, however, requires going back and forth between physically separated course material, such as a course book and a computer screen, thus leading to suboptimal learning outcomes. Compatible with the principles identified by the recent theoretical frameworks for multimedia learning, mobile technology provides learners with the opportunity to bring online and printed course material close together. Mobile phones make online information available within a small desktop space, in close proximity to printed course material. The challenges that are relevant to text input methods can be overcome by the 2D barcode technology. This study investigates the use of camera-equipped mobile phone and 2D barcode technology as an alternative to the use of computer screen for complementing printed course material. The results of the experimental investigation suggest that, by facilitating the access to online information sources by 2D barcode tags on course books, mobile phones have the potential to enhance learning.

For this, 7829 publications included in the Elsevier SCOPUS database between 1984 and 2021 were examined using bibliometric analysis by identifying key research areas, most influential authors, co-authorship status of countries, and organizations. As a result of this study, most topics related to mobile learning were Computer Science. “Mobile Learning” was the most used keyword followed by “e-learning” and “higher education”. Top performing organizations were in Taiwan. Taiwan was the major contributor in m-learning publications’ co-citation with other co-authorship countries. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
