Click on register on the main menu and provide the required registration details.
Step 2 - Install a 2D code reader
If you have a Nokia N93, N93i, N95 or E90 you can skip this section as the mobile phones already have the necessary software installed.
Use the QR Code resource menu and select one of the websites to download the 2D code reader. Each of these providers offer different variations so its down to personal taste. You can also download an Excel file containing over 1000 supported phones and the corresponding website to download your QR code reader (http://mlearning.edublogs.org/files/2007/11/qrcodesoftware.xls)
