1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

1. Is GIF a bitmap file format? | True | 2. Will a vector image maintain its quality when stretched? | True | 3. Will a GIF become pixelated if rescaled to a larger size? | True | 4.

What happens if colours are not within the range of its palette? | Two colours from within the range will be placed side-by-side to try and trick the eye into thinking the actual colour is there. | 6.

Can an SWF have a transparent background? | False | 15. What is the difference between compressed and source files? | The compressed files are final files and are dificult to convert between SWF and GIF. source files are working files and can be export to both SWF and GIF file formats. | 16. Why is file management important when creating an animation? | Because you need to keep files organised; keep all working files in one folder and all finished files in another.This will prevent working on a compressed file such as a GIF. | 17. How does the term “Frame Disposal” relate to animation? Your response should define the term and detail 3 solutions to the problem. | Is used to prevent artefacts appearing; to avoid this happening, frames should be disposed of and the background restored.Solutions - Check layers/arrangements/modes. Check frame position on timeline. check background colour. | 18. How does the term “Auto Crop” or “Trimming” relate to animation? | Is used to makes the animation lok neater and gives a reduced file size. |
