QR codes weren’t a big thing at that time and weren’t integrated into the first smart phones, eventually you could download an app to use a QR code. However those weren’t really in use in education settings until closer to 2015.
Oh, I didn’t realize they were available on blackberries and the first iPhone.
I remember there was a lot of confusion in the 90s when email was introduced to teachers and late 90s when attendance was inputted into a computer program. Getting a 60 year-old professor to not only use a smart phone, but to utilize them in a lecture when they’ve only used books and a blackboard for the last ~40 years of their career would be difficult. Boomers and Silent Generation had a hard enough time figuring out how to use a TV remote, let alone figuring out how to allow students to access a URL via QR code embedded into a PowerPoint presentation.
At the time, I had a qr reader on my android. You’re right about the teachers though, 100%. Also, not enough students would have had smartphones to be able to actually do that.
QR codes were invented in 1994.

There’s been a qr code reader app available in the store since 2008. It woulda been doable.

Yeah but most people didn’t have smartphones for a few more years. Making a smartphone required in 2008 would have been insane.
Ok. Valid.
Yeah, and Lincoln coulda faxed a samurai.
