HBU – January Meeting. (Now With Photos!)

Ahead of the next ‘HBU – Beyond The Classroom’ session, the e-Learning Technologists attended a Hair and Beauty departmental meeting on the 9th of January. It was Adam’s first introduction to Yvonne’s team, which allowed him to further prepare for his February session. The meeting itself revolved around various HBU staff members speaking about their recent developments and experiments relating to e-Learning. There were three distinct sections, and a final message from the e-Learning Team to wrap things up.

QR Codes and Generators

‘QR code’ stands for Quick Response Code, a square bar-code which can contain various types of media including simple text, a URL, a picture, a video, a phone number, a contact… Practically anything you can think of wanting to ever send to someone can be included in a QR code. The only way a QR code can be read is through a QR code reader – which can be downloaded for free on any smartphone or tablet. This way, you can see the media held within the pixels.

One of the great things about QR codes is the fact that you can insert them into Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc.
