Sharing QR codes for printing at home

Teachers can elect to give students and families access to the QR codes. Sharing QR codes enables students to print their own QR codes and use the Edsby Capture app to contribute to their own Evidence for the class. Once submitted the images can be reviewed in the All Evidence page, where observations and tags can be entered.

To enable students and parents to print QR Codes, open a class and click Evidence. Click Print QR Codes for Students

Select the Allow students and parents to print the QR Code checkbox. Unselecting this box will remove the access to the QR code, however, the code is still valid and if it has printed it can still be used. To suspend the student’s and parents’ ability to submit their own evidence, click Reissue all Codes.
