what is a QR code?
A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-
dimensional bar code) created by Japanese
corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is
derived from "Quick Response", as the
creator intended the code to allow its contents
to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are
common in Japan where they are currently
the most popular type of two dimensional
codes.
An ever increasing number of tasks can be
achieved using a QR code. The core ones
are,
• Link to web site
• Send an sms to a phone
• Transfer a phone number
• Provide more texthttp://wolseyweb.ucs.ac.uk/elttcode/
A QR Code effectively and
efficiently connects the physical and
electronic learning spaces on your
mobile phone.
