What Are QR Codes and How Can You Use Them?

It’s likely that you come across QR codes, or Quick Response codes, in your daily life.

These black and white patterned squares are a type of 2D barcode. They are capable of storing a lot more data than standard barcodes. Additionally, this data can be retrieved quickly and easily.

Because of these benefits, they are now used in a lot of different areas, such as marketing and advertising.

In this course, we’ll look at what QR codes are and the difference between static and dynamic QR codes. Then, we’ll explore how they are read as well as some common uses of QR codes.

The course finishes with some knowledge-check questions, to help you reflect on what you’ve learned.
