With Covid-19, QR codes made a comeback. They’re all over the place and scanning them with a phone is so easy. For a recent conference, we created a QR code to access the handouts and examples. They’re worth considering as one more way to share resources in your e-learning courses. Here’s a simple tip on how to create them for your training.
Why Create a Free QR Code for Training
Some training resources have really long links and make it difficult to share. I know that when presenting in a classroom, it’s not always easy seeing the URL on the projection screen. A QR removes this obstacle.
It’s also easy to put multiple QR codes together as a nice resource document. Check out the ones below.
How to Create Free QR Codes
I haven’t checked every browser, but in the Chrome and Edge browsers you can create the code quickly. The easiest way to create a QR code is to open the page in your browser, right click and select Create QR code.
The images below show the difference between the Chrome and Edge versions. I like the Chrome QR codes best because I can remove the dinosaur image and replace it with my own and easily create a branded QR code by adding a logo or other custom image.
As you can see, it’s pretty easy to create and download a free QR code. And then it’s just a matter of making the code available.
While I have your attention, here’s a warning about QR codes and how some people are being scammed.
