Accessibility Issues - QR stuff

This is very adaptable where individuals can scan a code to then connect to websites, videos, plain text etc. I have found that as this is a different experience for the students they engaged well with the tasks set. There were some general issues surrounding some students not having smart phones, although this is an accessibility issue it encouraged the students to work together (which was an added benefit). Again some students had not downloaded a QR reader, but most resolved this within a few minutes of the session. The QR code saves space in printing large amounts of information and can remain on their phone to read/ engage with later. Some individuals will not find QR codes incredibly interesting as it becomes predictable - and should not be used too frequently to avoid overexposure to it as a tool.
