QR codes allow users to access webpages and other online content using the camera on their smartphone. A QR code is a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be read by QR reader apps. To use a QR code, a user scans it with their phone camera which then opens a link, downloads a file, or triggers another action. QR codes can support learning by providing additional content related to textbooks, presentations, assignments, and more. Some benefits are dynamic presentations and interactive textbooks. Limitations include requiring smartphone access and comfort with technology.

16. 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.

When you create and save a QR code, you save it as an image. I have saved it as both a jpeg and a png image.The area that is most relevant here is the gray area throughout = data and correction error.Up to 30% of a QR codes data can be missing or obstructed, and still be scanned.The more you manipulate this area the more likely the QR code will become corrupted.And, it doesn't matter whether the QR code is upside down or wrapped around a curved surface, the message will still get through.
