Editor's Notes
- #2: I hope some of you have been able to scan the QR code and find out a bit more about me – those of you that have will have been taken to this information site
- #4: Some readers / some code generatorsWebsites too – QR code generators
- #5: So what is aQR code A type of two-dimensional code first designed for the automotive industry.Characteristics include fast access and large storage capacity.QR codes can hold embedded information in the code itself or can trigger actions like launching a website or downloading a file.
- #7: A whole variety of website that will generate codes – google to find – I like this one Wide Variety of information typesDifferent output formatsColour options
- #8: In fact google will generate themtoo – you go to agoogleurlshortner (google that) The complexity of a QR code is dependent on the amount of information it holds - best to keep it as simple as possible to ensure accuracy – for website urls it’s good practice to shorten the url first before generating the code. Use bit.ly / tinyurl / or Google urlshortner.Ok so you paste your url into the space / then click shorten urlIt then generates the shortened urlClick on the details link and that will take you the QR code that’s automatically generated too.
- #9: You’d then download the image and use it wherever you want – print, online, email it
- #10: Some apps include generator as well as a reader – e.g. free Qrafter is a reader / with paid for Qrafter Pro £1.99 you can generate codes too
- #11: These are all things QR codes can contain – bear in mind about the quantity of information can compromise the accuracy.What’s important is the reader and internet access
- #12: Lin to an information website which can be kept up to date – so the QR code is always linked to up to date information
- #13: On labels and signsThis provides opening hours information that can be stored permanently on your device in history or you can copy an paste it into your notes or other software you use
- #14: Adding instructions – or links to instruction manuals – I’ve seen them on foodstuffs in the supermarket – noticed on herbs recently – origin and information
- #15: Link to video of venue – used to launch media such as youtube / to a streaming server
- #16: Link to slide share method ppt- so this one takes you to a presentation sitting on sldie share
- #17: Text answer provided (feedback) reinforcement
- #18: Online qeneralknowledge quiz sitePerth College – used Soft Chalk for quizzes
