Wiki + QR code = Semapedia

Posted by onlineteachernetwork on September 19, 2007




This from the del.icio.us tag via sparkered.

A QR code generated from Wikipedia for use in physical spaces, equals Semapedia.

I tried it out using the kaywa reader and now have the Wikipedia entry to liminality on my phone as I write. :)

It works like this:

Explainer

Imagine some of the applications, if you will:

  • quick lookup of definitions (those that apply to one’s workplace perhaps)
  • find out more about an artist, locale, music band, suburb…
  • orientation information within an institute or business or…

At present this is set up for Wikipedia and other ‘Wikisites’. If opened up to Wikiversity, Wikieducator, etc the possibilities are motivating!
