Using QR Codes to Augment Experiences

This session explores the creative use of QR codes in teaching and learning. Find out about how QR codes can be used as quick-reference points for students, as data collection points and as a creative way to ‘augment’ the built environment in innovative and creative ways.

Session Aims

The aims of this session are to:

• Quickly generate a QR code to augment a presentation and provide students with further information, video content, quizzes and other material alongside your video content

• Consider ways of using QR codes innovatively to augment the physical environment

• Think creatively about the broader applications of QR codes and engage in discussion about the potential barriers and risks to their proliferation in society
