Search results for finding QR code generators that offer tracking services. This might help us determine how many people actually scan the QR codes.

CreateBuzz QR Code creates 2 types of QR Codes. One is normal, and the other is trackable. The trackable QR Code has a different URL. When it is read, it is actually reading the trackable URL which then redirects to the page that was defined initially. Quick tests on several devices and QR Code readers show that some QR Code readers did not do the re-direction. Hence these scans were not tracked. Alternatively, use bit.ly because it tracks clicks. Use the shorten URL to generate the QR Code. Any scan to the QR Code which points to the shorten URL will be recorded. It shows the time the scans were done and region as well.

Ok, I think this isn't ever going to make it into ANY school... but this is an amazing concept of how we can use QR codes to enhance real-world art in education... i.e. cyberspace meets meat-space (literally). An idea that I gained from this is that we could use this idea for, say, a printed picture book... if we scanned the QR code in the printed page using our iPhones, the moment the video loaded, we could just place our iPhones directly over the printed page, and it would give a compelling illusion that the printed page had suddenly come to life a la Harry Potter. :) BTW do watch the video from 2:05 onwards! :) (esp if you're squeamish about watching a tattoo process) Now, for an iPad-sized tattoo... any takers? ;) (Just kidding!)

Another idea: Imagine we were doing a bio lesson and wanted our students to "see" a beating heart. We could get a mannequin and paste QR codes over the chest. Then the teacher can scan the QR code, load the corresponding Youtube video and place the mobile phone directly over the chest. The result would look to the students as though the phone was a magic window for them to peer through the chest to "see" the beating heart. So QR codes could be used for 3D object lessons too.

a qr site that ofters creation of QR code that is vector, meaning scaleable to any size and retain sharpness and also track the usage of the QR code.

I experimented on it. It also gives the ability to change your url anytime later and it doesnt affect the QR code design. let's say u already printed your qr code on something or on somewhere, the contents can keep changing constantly or redirect to any site easily. Save you some hassle~!

Marketing CeL using QR codes, here they are some..

MDs, check out the QR codes, interesting nice!

An alternative to QR code. You can be more creative with the code as compared with QR. MDs take a look.

Thanks for sharing this! The PDF will be a resource that I share with my class via Dropbox.

very good last min revision on QR. save my day on the TE21 presentation. The mentioned scenario of using QR code to view instructions of operating complicated equipment rooms has been my repeated lines on the day!

Although the iPad and the older iPod touch doesn't have a camera, there are two ways that it can read a QR code. 1. Code embedded in website 2. Printed Code

Thanks for sharing this. I had previously only used http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ but qrstuff.com is richer!

MDs, check this out.

Note that the free version inserts its own ad. We can do better!

I find this extension very helpful for consolidating large tab collections into one single webpage (and saving memory as a result). This single webpage can then be shared easily as a collection of links (no more copy-pasting of links needed!)... and there's even an auto-generated QR code for your recipients to view the links online!

Check out the QR code, cool. 

some good tips, worth viewing.

Neat! This resource will be very useful when I conduct my workshop on QR codes next month.
