An administrator can also set a theme for mobile devices in Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme selector. The MyMobile theme is especially designed for mobile devices. The Simple theme is multi device optimized. The Standard fluid theme is a good start if you like to code your own responsive web design theme in Moodle, or if you use the 'standard' theme and would like to make it ready for smartphones and tablets.
