Moodle app
From MoodleDocs
Mobile app latest: The Moodle Mobile app (developed on HTML5 and Phonegap) is replacing the old mobile app for iPhone, My Moodle.
What is the app used for
The app offers few features which have for advantage to be done quicker than on the Moodle site or to be done offline.
- upload a picture into your private file (so you can use it in the file picker straight away)
- record an audio file and upload into your private file (so you can use it in the file picker straight away)
- send a private message to a student/teacher (faster than in Moodle + it works offline)
- take a personal/reminder note about someone else (faster than in Moodle + it works offline)
- add someone to your phone contact (you don’t need to copy/type details manually)
- call someone touching the phone number (you don’t need to copy/type the number in your dialapp)
- locate someone address on Google map (you don’t need to copy/type the address in the map)
- view a PDF/DOC/Image/HTML resource (some resources can be downloaded to be used offline on your phone)
Moodle sites must be enabled for the app to access them
The administrator of your Moodle site (which must be version 2.4 or later) must enable mobile access as follows:
- In Settings > Site administration > Advanced features tick the 'Enable web services' checkbox, then click the button to save changes
- In Site administration > Plugins > Web services > Mobile tick the 'Enable web services for mobile devices' checkbox, then click the button to save changes. (Ticking the 'Enable web services' checkbox should enable this also, but doesn't always.)
