Top 10 QR tips for fieldwork
1. Print the code as large as you can to make
scanning easier
2. Avoid the largest QR code types (1,852-
4,296 chars) as these can be hard to scan
3. Place QR codes in well lit, accessible areas if
you can
4. A torch can be useful to aid scanning in darker
locations
5. Foil the cheats! Get students to take pictures
of themselves in the location they found the
QR code.

Top 10 QR tips for fieldwork
6. Using bit.ly to create the QR means it is easy
to track analytics for each code: when they
were accessed and how many times
7. Print black on white for easier scanning
8. Weatherproof your codes and firmly fix them
to something. Use cable ties
9. Most QR readers keep a log of the scanned
codes. Good for reviewing later
10. Taking an image of a code or at a location on a
smartphone will create a geo-tagged record of
places visited (if the option is enabled)

Notes de l'éditeur You’ll need to think about the devices the students will be using.Will sufficient numbers of them have access to a smartphone?What platform will they run? Android and iOS will handle most functions well. RIM (Blackberry) and Symbian (Nokia) won’t be as feature rich. Older phones will struggle with more advanced options like linking to Google Maps and some other websitesThink about battery longevity – Is it likely your students will have enough life in their phones for the activity until they can get to the next recharge. Network IssuesIf you are just using QR codes for simple text messages then network coverage is not a issue. It may be if you want to link to web content.If you intend to link to streamed content like Youtube then a reliable 3g connection is required. This may not be available in more remote areas.
