Plus, if the information on your PDF changes, you can always upload a new one any time without having to create a different QR Code.

Introduce yourself with videos

A Video QR Code on your office door sign can help your students get to know you even before your first class or seminar. With a single scan, they can learn about your focus areas, how you like to structure your classes and lectures, and how to reach you when you are out of office. An introductory video will make it easier for students to decide on the teacher or lecturer to sign up for in the upcoming school year or semester.

MP3 QR Code

Turn printed words into audio

Not everyone retains information by reading. So by implementing MP3 QR Codes in your teaching materials, you let students choose whether they like to read or listen. You can also add additional learning material such as a podcast so they can learn more about a topic. This way, everyone gets a fair chance at learning and it also broadens your teaching method. Upon scanning, the Code redirects to a customizable MP3 player with a customizable button that you can link to more materials online.
