A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code). Using SMART phones such as the Nokia N95 you can read information using a barcode reader application. Suggestions such as labelling skeletal diagrams in 'Anat/Phys' lessons or privately advertising sexual heatlh screening sessions are just some of the benefits to this technology.
You may have seen an example of a QR code posted on the JPC staff intranet by Keith Tellum over christmas. However contrary to popular belief they are not magic eye optical illusions! Lilian Soon (http://www.xlearn.co.uk/blogger.html) who brought QR codes to my attention suggest "I think QR codes are going to be great on open day - if you provide the students with the phones/kit to read them, and then have a booth to help students get them on their own phones (which in the long run means you can use QR codes around the college more)".
