A real-world example
One poster for the whole unit
A science teacher prints one QR code on a poster at the start of Unit 3. It opens the outline, the lab safety rules and the first worksheet. Each week the next worksheet is added to the list, and students always know where to look.
- No more reprinting lost handouts
- Resources added as the unit progresses
- Works on any student phone or tablet

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do students need an account to open the PDFs?
No. They scan the code and the PDFs open in their browser.
Can I add new worksheets during the term?
Yes. Add PDFs to the list anytime. The printed code stays the same.
Can I protect documents with a password?
Not yet, so only share materials that are suitable for anyone with the QR code or link.
Can I replace a PDF after printing the QR code?
Yes. Upload the new version in your dashboard and the same QR code opens it straight away. Nothing needs to be reprinted.
What should I check before printing?
Scan the downloaded code on a couple of phones, open every PDF on mobile data, and test a printed proof at the real size. Keep a short written URL nearby for anyone who can’t scan.
