One year we had to buy a “clicker” to give digital answers to multiple choice questions live in class. We only used them a handful of times and then found out we couldn’t resell them after the semester because it was coded to a specific student and couldn’t be changed or something.
I at least appreciated the professor apologizing to us when we reported it to him and promising to not do it to another class when he found out you can’t resell them, but still… I may as well have just thrown $50 in the trash and gotten the same result.
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.

The Eindhoven University of Technology?
Oops didn’t mean to! Sowwy I won’t do it again. (Does it again)
I just create surveys and put a QR code in my slides. They answer the question on their phone.
Yeah, this was 2010…
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, and Lincoln coulda faxed a samurai.
Yeah but most people didn’t have smartphones for a few more years. Making a smartphone required in 2008 would have been insane.
Hmm that sounds like a profit making opportunity for a technically inclined person.
It was, they sold the clickers
