Dr. Luis Pereira discusses ways to make printed academic materials more engaging using digital technologies. He suggests using QR codes and the Aurasma app to allow students to access additional interactive content like videos and animations through their smartphones or tablets while viewing printed slides, handouts, or posters. This combines analog and digital tools in an innovative way. He also encourages colleagues to try these techniques and share ideas to improve student learning experiences.
