Dear Sir,

Thank you for the nice creation to bring portable gadgets into learning. This work is very good easy from catalog perspective, but little complicated, when we talk on mobile learning. I am not passing any comment neither I am asking a question, but I wish to know, "how to use these file? whether to consider for making a printed catalog? or just we should share by emails? Or another effective way if any?

Kindly advice the right way to use them effectively. 

Thank you.

QR code is used as a shortcut to link to content online using your phone's camera, saving you from typing lengthy addresses into your mobile browser. You'll need an app that can read QR codes.

To know more about QR codes,

If you use Android Smartphone or Tablet, then, install any QR Code apps like QR Code reader
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.scan.android.client

or any similar app which can read QR Codes from Google play store

Regarding the NPTEL PDF files, you can simply open the file in a PDF viewer in the PC, or you can also take a printout if you wish.

In case, if you have opened the document in a PDF viewer in the PC, simply open the QR Code Reader app in your Smartphone and point it to the QR Code in the PDF document (which is displayed in your PC screen).  Your smartphone will automatically scan and recognize the QR code and will display the NPTEL Course URL, asking to Open / Cancel.  Clicking 'Open' will open the URL in your default browser.

In case, If you have printed the copy of the document, follow the same procedure as above.  The QR Code Reader can scan from screen displays as well as from print media.
