These distinctive barcodes are generally square and rendered in simple black-and-white blotches. You'll find them on TV shows, in print publications, in subway advertisements... Heck, we're willing to say marketers will slap a QR code on anything that doesn't move or talk. QR code clothing is also available. QR codes are used to reveal more information about a product, service, event or person. To scan the codes, all you need is a mobile device with a camera and an app to interpret the data in the code.

"STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT USING WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES: A MIXED METHODS STUDY" by Dallas R. Malhiwsky

The past decade has brought numerous innovations and advances in the area of technology, which have changed the role from one of consumer of knowledge to one of producer of knowledge which has revolutionized the delivery of education.
