[[File:moodlemobile_topicsorweeks.png]]
 
==== Avoid orphaned activities or direct links to activities ====
[[File:moodlemobile_avoid_orphaned.png]]
 
==== Install the Moodle Mobile availability plugin ====
 
With this plugin you can choose if an activity, resource or a complete section is (or is not) visible for users accessing the course via the Mobile app.
 
Once installed you can create Moodle Mobile friendly courses just replacing resources currently not supported by the app, like the Book module, with Mobile friendly resources (like an HTML version of the book module).
 
See the [[Moodle Mobile availability plugin]] page for additional information.
 
==== Labels are initially collapsed, use a short text as introduction of what is inside ====

==== Use responsive HTML in pages or mini-sites ====
[[File:moodlemobile_responsive_html.png]]
 
==== YouTube or map links (URL resource) open automatically in the system app ====
[[File:moodlemobile_youtube_maps_links.png]]
 
==== Find alternatives to unsupported activities or resources ====
* Book module: Publish an “accessible” version of the Book resource using the export to HTML feature
* IMS CP: Instead using the IMS CP resource, unzip the file and add it as a resource (mini-site)
* Same for SCORM without API tracking
* Not all the video formats are supported by all mobile devices, upload the same video in different formats in a directory resource
