Link a printed worksheet, syllabus, or lab handout to a video, doc, quiz, or supplementary resource. Generate a QR code in EZQR, drop it onto the handout, and reuse the same printed materials across semesters by updating the linked resource without reprinting.

What the video covers

Pick the resource you want students to access - A YouTube video walkthrough, a Google Doc reading, a Google Form quiz, a Drive folder of practice problems, a Padlet board - anything with a URL.
Generate a dynamic QR code in EZQR - Paste the URL. A dynamic code lets you swap the linked resource between semesters - same printed handout, new video or updated reading list, no reprinting.
Drop the QR onto the handout - Place it near the top right or bottom right at around 2cm × 2cm. Add a caption: "Scan for the video walkthrough" or "Scan for the lab procedure." Make sure it has clear white space around it so cameras can lock on.
Test scan with both iPhone and Android - Phones in your classroom will be a mix. Scan a printed copy with both before duplicating for the whole class. If either struggles, increase the QR size or simplify the link.
Reuse and repoint the next term - When you teach the unit again, update the destination instead of reprinting handouts. New video, new reading, new form - same handout in students hands. Per-code analytics also show how many students actually opened the resource.
