Hi Jessica,
In my experience, QR codes have worked pretty well once people know how to use them. I would also recommend setting up some kind of tracking system on them if you haven't already thought of that. To do that for free, I've wired QR Codes through a free bit.ly account that will track hits. It's not an elegant solution, but it's free.
If you have the budget for it, Guide by Cell works pretty well and is mobile-based. It is easy to use for both the visitor and the creator.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

Hi everyone -
I work at a small university museum and we're looking to create a low-tech audio tour that visitors could access using their mobile devices. We were thinking of using QR codes that link to audio embedded in a website. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
