Okay, I have to be honest I did not even know what QR codes were until earlier this week. I was setting in my bosses office and we were talking about how we need to do things differently and think "outside of the box". She showed me a QR code that was in our non credit course catalogs. She said that department had put one of these codes in their catalog and if someone with a smartphone scanned it they would be downloading the catalog to their phone. Wow, what a concept.
So as I am going through my RSS feeds, I come across this article. Who knew there was so much that you could do with these codes. I plan on going back to work on Monday and asking to put one of these on the back on my business card. The college just made a decision to stop printing our college, for credit, catalog and strictly making it online. The catalog could be loaded into the QR code on the back of my card so students can access it right from their phone. Oh the possibilities...
