QR Codes

Creative ways to use QR Codes with your PubWriter site.

If you are giving a presentation, include the QR Code to give your audience the ability to get access to your materials on your PubWriter site. Put a QR code on your title slide or in your slide footer. You can also add it to specific slides to create a 'live' online endnote that readers can reference.

QR codes can be used to encrypted messages (i.e. passwords) that no one would ever be able to figure out as long as you used two different channels to send the message.
