You probably are a part of the school\/university administration department. And it is your duty to ensure security for the institution and students.<\/span> One <\/span> of the ways is to validate students\u2019 entry in the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to achieve this, you need to issue an identity document to each student.<\/span> Though the method helps authenticate entries, it is not free of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very easy to duplicate an identity card. There are many softwares available online, which help create fake identity cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This practice can allow trespassers and unauthorized entries in the school\/college premises. Hence, this puts the school security at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, you are looking for a more secure solution to design student identity cards. In this article we will show you how you can blend technology with identity cards. And make them modern, tech-savvy, sustainable, and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. The conventional student identity card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The conventional student ID cards are generally paper-based. They have the student’s contact details along with a photo. These <\/span>details include <\/span>the name, grade and section, address and contact details of the parents. All this is either <\/span>handwritten <\/span>or printed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The identity card is then worn on the breakaway lanyard hanging from the neck or clipped to the shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s very easy to remove the original card holder\u2019s photo and put a fake photo. Plus, if the card gets lost\/stolen, it is very difficult to track the lost card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, it is time to optimize these conventional cards. One way to make student identity cards secure is by adding a QR Code to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A QR Code<\/a> is a 2D barcode, which can easily be scanned via a smartphone. In the next section, we will show you how student identity cards with QR Code can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Why QR Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

QR codes <\/span>have become <\/span>popular today.  In fact, they have already ventured into the education sector <\/span>to make<\/span> the classroom environment engaging.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, industries such assports<\/a>, automobiles<\/a>, engineering<\/a>, and tourism<\/a>are using them too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes are easy-to-create and not at all capital intensive. They occupy very little space and can easily fit on any top corner of the identity card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another quality of QR Codes is that they can resist damage upto 30%. That is, even if the QR Code is subject to slight wear-and-tear, it will still hold its scanning capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, you can also design a QR Code. This means that you can add colors, your school\/college logo, or a background image to a QR Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, say you want to design student identity cards for grade one. And children of this age group love colorful things. Hence, you can use custom-designed QR Codes<\/a>. They will help make your identity cards look <\/span>branded to the institution<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, you can encode different types of information such as text, URL, and contact details in a QR Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next section, we will detail upon how each category can be used on a QR Code-based identity card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
