The RSC Scotland North & East’s Learning Technologies blog has more information on QR codes and there is an archive of a recent RSCtv session on QR Codes. Applications in education.

One institution which has been doing a lot of work with QR codes is the University of Bath. They have been using QR codes for over a year now in a range of areas including:

  • recording student assignment submission
