If you read my blog further, I have explained how to use them and even generate your own QR code. It is easy and FREE!
Using Quick Response Code for learning
Quick Response Codes (QR )are two-dimensional barcode that can be read using Smartphones and other QR reading devices that link directly to text, emails, websites, documents i.e. Power Point excel, PDF files, phone numbers etc.
QR codes were invented in the 1940s and are hugely popular in Japan for the past few years. It has now, taken over the western part of the world as there isn't a place without a sight of QR codes. It is literally everywhere; business cards, buildings, coffee shops, supermarkets etc. Although, it much more used in marketing and advertising products, I personally think, as students, we can take advantage and use it for learning purposes.
QR codes can and is a fun and interactive way of learning anywhere, any time for anyone who owns any type of mobile technology i.e. Smartphones, Tablets, I pads Laptops etc...
How to get started with QR codes for learning purposes? It is FREE!
Download App “i-nigma” – this is suitable for iOs, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. Once you download it, you can scan any QR codes anywhere. To Scan QR codes, click on the app and get ready to scan, bear in mind that the entire code should be visible. Once you have done it correctly the Q-reader will open documents/ URLs automatically.
One of the easiest and fastest ways to get access and share information anything ranging from YouTube Videos, Power Point presentation or even your assignments is to create your own QR Code. I will demonstrate few examples.
How to generate your own QR code (Click any of the following):
Example 1: QR code for University of Greenwich
For this example I have chosen no.2 (you can choose any), click on the link, simply copy paste the URL of Greenwich uni on the given box then, click generate.
Scan the QR code and on your Phone or any device you have it will directly open to University of Greenwich website.
Example 2: Document of CFA course booklet
For any sort of documents (i.e. Microsoft word, Excel, Power Point Open documents, images etc ) you would have to go to http://www.tagmydoc.com/, upload your document on the search box and there you will have your QR code. Simple as that. You can tag, share or send it to your friends.
Scan the above QR to view the CFA Course booklet
These are just 2 ways of using QR code for learning purposes out of million ways as innovative ideas are generated everyday for many purposes. You can also use the app to review books as you can find QR codes pasted inside covers of certain books and explore more data types i.e. Google maps locations, contact details etc but you would have to go on this website รจQRStuff.com as it supports the following data types. You can also play audio (make your own), Speak Text, email, update twitter and many more. The QR code is your oyster. J
