Using QR codes

In 2009 UniSA is trialling the use of QR codes on its International Student Handbook and Student Interactive CD.

As it is a trial, please comment to tell us what you think if you've come across a UniSA QR code.

What is a QR code and what does it do?
Developed and widely used in Japan, QR stands for Quick Response and is a two-dimensional barcode. A standard barcode can only hold so many characters and the QR code is capable of holding much more information. For example a QR code can hold a web address and/or contact information, therefore making it easier to access information.

How to read a QR code?
To decipher a QR code you need a web-enabled camera phone to capture the image and then decode it, eg an iPhone or NextG phone.

If you're a small business that has a twitter account, make a QR code to hang on the entrance of your business that directs the person to your twitter account so they can automatically follow you with out having to log in on their own.
