Teresa Phan · Carolina Digital Repository (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) · 2020
This study describes a questionnaire survey of undergraduate and graduate students at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill administered in March 2020. The survey was conducted to gauge current usage, perceptions, and future intent of QR codes of college students. The results of the study showed that all participants have seen QR codes, many have scanned them, but one-third of the participants recorded not liking QR codes due to their understanding that a third-party app is required or other methods of retrieving the same information was more convenient.
