| | #Redirect [[Creating Moodle Mobile friendly courses]] |
| | |
| As more and more students access courses from their smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices, it is increasingly important to ensure your courses are mobile-friendly.
| |
| | |
| Encouraging students to install the [https://download.moodle.org/mobile/ official Moodle mobile app]] is one way to improve their learning experience. Below are some suggestions for optimising your course materials for students both using the app and accessing Moodle from mobile devices.
| |
| | |
| ==Use a mobile-friendly theme==
| |
| Recent versions of Moodle allow for responsive themes, which adapt to the browser screen size. Make sure your course uses such a theme and check its contents yourself before students start the course.
| |
| ==Notifications and messages==
| |
| Encourage your students to enable mobile notifications so they are alerted about calendar events, forum posts, messages, assignment submissions and so on. Find out more in [[Mobile app notifications]].
| |
| | |
| ==Provide a 'how to' guide to Moodle on the mobile==
| |
| ==Course content==
| |
| | |
| ***********WIP*****************
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ==== Upload a detailed guide of how to use Moodle Mobile including: ====
| |
| * Download links to the different platforms/stores.
| |
| * Explain the different possibilities and limitations of the app.
| |
| * Explain how the offline mode works (you should download your contents first).
| |
| * Explain how to configure your messaging settings for receiving mobile notifications.
| |
| | |
| ==== Create a custom theme for your site ====

| |
| | |
| ==== Do not use frontpage courses or activities ====
| |
| [[File:moodlemobile_dont_use_frontpage.png]] Place those pages in a global course where all the users are enrolled via cohorts, meta-course enrolments. | |
| | |
| ==== Enrol all the users in that course via the db plugin ====

| | |

| |
| | |
| ==== 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
