Southern Seminary and QR Code Project

6 Replies

It is always great to see experiments like this from TechSMO. Especially when they can garner additional readers to offline media.

This was a recent project that I did with Southern Seminary. It’s a “tech edition” of one of their major publications The Towers. We used a QR code as the cover graphic and the articles are all themed around the importance of technology. Once scanned, the QR code opens a related video that is optimized for mobile phones. Turns out this was one of the most popular editions they’ve done.

Some of you have talked about using QR codes for bulletins or other print media in your communities, have you taken the jump? And if so, what has been the response?

I have tested the waters a bit but haven’t done the jump because it would have made my poor secretary melt in fear. She’s retiring in January and, while I am truly sorry to see her go, the incoming secretary a “native” to the digital and mobile worlds so I’ll be able to get her to create the codes…

I am REALLY looking forward to it.

I am an educational technologist by trade, and a PW by calling. I have been looking at this for schools and am intrigued by the ministry opportunities. I have been researching this for my husband…sad that there aren’t more comments. I would love to hear what folks are doing.

Yes, I’m with you in wondering why there isn’t more happening with education and ministry. We do see things and will continue to report on them as we hear/see them. You will also see more demonstrations from our end; because if it’s not happening, we might as well make something happen where it meets needs.

Amy (and others) make sure to check out the coverage mobile barcodes are getting at places such as MSearchGroove as well. They have a series of pieces looking at the use of these: http://www.msearchgroove.com/neomedia-ceo-talks-ip-mobile-barcode-growth-opportunities-best-practice/

There’s also a report on mobile tagging worth looking at: http://www.psfk.com/future-of-mobile-tagging
