Scanning a QR Code or Barcode in PVA

Once the QR Codes, sometimes referred to as barcodes, are in place they are ready for conducting Assessments.

Most devices include a barcode scanner on the camera by default, but if not, any “Barcode” or “QR Code” reader app will work. All these devices are supported out of the box. No extra hardware or software needed.

Your device will need an internet connection. Any decent stable WiFi connection or mobile carrier will work.
