Quick response codes are two dimensional bar codes that have timesaving potential in terms of sharing links and information for educational purposes.

As the name implies users can quickly scan the barcodes and this increases the accuracy of information transfer.

Apps like QR Code maker, QRafter and QR Droid make it easy to create quick response codes.

Quick Response codes can be used to promote oracy skills by allowing learners to share audio recordings to support written assignments.

QR codes will be used in the future to share homework and update class assignments.
