Abstract Hypercontent module as one of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) learning device contains collaboration between technology, pedagogy, and material content equipped with Quick Response Code (QR Code) as a learning navigation tool that is open source for learning, so it is expected to improve students’ creative thinking skills in information processing as new knowledge through technological literacy. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the hypercontent module to improve creative thinking skills of prospective physics teachers. The hypercontent module contains various learning resources such as presentation, text, video, images, and exersice that can be accessed via QR Code reader. This research is a pre-experimental research with one group pretest postest design. The research subject is 16 students in Department of Physics Education Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The data were collected through tests of creative thinking skills with indicators of thinking fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality. The results of data collection were analysed with descriptive analysis and N-gain test. This research shows that the hypercontent module is effective to improve the creative thinking skills of prospective physics teachers. This can be seen from the increase in the score of students’ creative thinking skills from 64.51 to 72.64 after implementing the hypercontent module.
