OH! ! !
PLEASE do not give learners a QR Code when learning UNLESS you also give
the URL below it in clear text.

Bad habit to train folk to load a non-designated  URL QR Code.

Easy for them to be lead astray to bad sites.
Refer security conferences where about 12% of attendees had their
laptops 'raided' due to using a QR Code rather than enter a URL.

This is a major point I train seniors in when teaching.
