Mobile App - QR Code

We have been interested in this as well to some extent. Just lower on the list of priorities at the moment. 

Check out this deep linking to go learn app article on the Docebo KB

Thank you so much Irnlab!

This is exactly what I was looking for. 

What is the best way for me to get this online QR code from you so we can add it to  a document or put it in a training video?

@Swatson you should be able to save the pic from the message above but if you want the original file, send me your email via DM and I’ll send it over to you...

Hi Irnlab,

I was able to save the pic from the message.

Thank you again so much!

Sandy

Nice one @lrnlab - I’ve used similar ones on my pages as well:

@Swatson another approach to consider - tweak your email notifications with a bit of HTML in the source code area of the editor:
<a href="https://landingURL.com"><img src="https://imageURL.com" alt="your alt text"></a>

"href" link will be the one the App/Play stores or your own rebranded app.

"img src" URL will be for the image(s) that you decide to use (and host) somewhere.

"alt" text specifies an alternate image description in case the image cannot be displayed for some reason.

The full string for reference:

<p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.docebo.eolo.staging&amp;hl=en"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/kHxJxqP/google-play-badge.png" alt="Go.Learn here" /></a></p>

The result of this - your learners will have a clickable "call to action" from their email notification - in this case a redirect to the Play Store:
 

Let us know how your pages turn out! :)

nice to have options @SuperShaune ! Thanks

Not sure if it helps but we use https://www.qrcode-tiger.com/

My earlier response about using a deep link to open up in the go learn app is something we will be working on using QR codes. The goal being for our users who are using the go learn app, the link will launch and open the content in the app instead of being directed to the web browser version.

Hi

@MarkMBT We have run a pilot using QR codes to deep link to content in channels to support our field engineers working on our equipment. Originally the challenge was not being able to update content on channels so the url would change if we needed to update content. For this we looked at rebrandly.com to provide a static url/qr code and a redirect to the latest content, but since channels have been fixed to allow content to be updated, this is no longer required. 

When scanned the link does ask if you want to open in the app so we have to tell our engineers to always choose this option.

Hi @MarkMBT - just circling back on this thread.  What has your experience been with deep linking to content in the Go.Learn app?  

@Konstantinos this can be relevant to you ;)

Is it just me, or is this code no longer working? I received the following notice: The QR Code Campaign has been disabled for some reason.

Hi @IngerCnudde, 

I just tried scanning the QR Code and got the same thing - The QR Code Campaign has been disabled. 

Hi @lrnlab, 

Can you send a new QR code for the Docebo Mobile App (Go.Learn) since the one above has been disabled? This is not the branded mobile app.

Sorry folks, this was just a test I did a while back to show what's possible. I cannot reactivate the code above.

You can create your own...cant recall which one I used but here’s an example from a free site...you might need to pay for a subscription if you plan to use it on your site:

https://www.qr-code-generator.com/free-generator/?utm_source=google_c&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=en_top_kw&utm_content=qr_generator_exact&utm_term=qrcode%20generator_e&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInLrj5vqA-gIVcWxvBB2ykA7WEAAYAiAAEgKYyPD_BwE

Brings up a good point though, always good to generate your own QR code for your own projects even if they point to the same URL, this way you have full control over it, there are a TON of generators out there to do it, some free, some not, and some disappear over time, my personal favorite is this one, as it lets you generate them on the fly (i.e. insert a VILT session url without knowing it ahead of time and needing to manually type it into a generator.)

https://goqr.me/api/doc/create-qr-code/

If you build the URL and insert it into an html img container, you get a flexible QR code instantly. I do this in emails to users about events.

Has anyone found a free QR code generator that lets you create one code for both Google and Apple play stores? I have found many of the paid sites, but I only want to create 2 QR codes -- one to Go.Learn and one to Libby -- and hate to have to pay a subscription fee for that. :^\

The one I linked to above offers a free version to just generate a couple. Theres also a bunch of chrome extensions and things that are:

https://goqr.me/

theres always qr monkey: https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/

We have branded mobile apps and have QR codes on home page for users to scan.

We are now testing linking courses with QR codes on mobile app. So far mixed results. Code leads to course but opening apps sometimes an issue.

are you using the app link format or just relying on the link to autodetect device and redirect?

Are any of you finding reluctancy issues with your learners about QR codes and security.   Before we start down this road with our group, and use the new Docebo workaround, I am trying to gauge if it’s worth it in the long run.   I hear stuff about QR codes and security & I’m checking with my IT colleagues, but I was curious if any of the admins on here had any feedback or thoughts? 

#MobileApp, #QRCode

Lisa - hi. This is going to be a bit of a philosophical discussion as a response. 

When you think of physical security, there will always be a weak link. Its then on the organization to recognize the risk level and understand if the value add is still there or not with the weak link being in place.

Another system, we created an instructor/proctor driven system that read bar codes off of peoples badges as a way of checking attendance into events. Works great. It doesnt scale exceptionally well. It doesnt help if someone took someone elses badge and used it. We had an org wide event that was in the 10s of thousands with easily into the many tens of events and sessions. The only way we could stay efficient were to have people swipe badges at kiosks to count their event attendance. And again - it had a level of risk associated.
But IMHO, the risk is lower than putting a QR code on a screen for someone to self-manage their enrollment.

And that's my point to you - there is always a type of risk and if people want to work around it, they probably will figure it out. 

You may want to point out - going another way - where people are keying in or feeding csvs into systems of people’s attendance status - there will be some level of fat-fingering error when you are scaling humans as part of the solution..

Anywho, I figure - food for thought.
