QR Codes to share assignments or pages in Canvas

[mbodemer]

I would love to be able to share an assignment or a page that I've created in my Canvas LMS for a course, so that when I am telling my students about an assignment they can scan the QR code to easily open the link.

You can do it from some browsers.

For example, both in Chrome and Firefox, you can navigate to the page, then right click the current tab on top of the page, and select "Share".
A new window will pop up whose top part looks like this:

The second button from the right will show you a QR code for the page when you click it, which you can copy and share.

There are also websites that can make QR codes from the URL with more flexibility in how they look like (just make sure they're not adding anything else to the URL, like trackers before sharing with the students).
