Thanks to all the developers who’ve worked on this version of the app: Juan Leyva, Jerome Mouneyrac, Barbara Ramiro, Martin Dougiamas and Josep Gifreu.

  • It is secure
  • It can work offline
  • It can support notifications (coming soon)
  • It can be branded and expanded by an institution
  • It makes some Moodle operations faster and more convenient

Features

  • Responsive design for phone and tablets
  • Upload a picture into your private file area
  • Record an audio file and upload it into your private file area
  • Send a private message to a course participant (can be done offline)
  • Take a personal note about a course participant (can be done offline)
  • Add a course participant to your phone contact
  • Call a course participant touching the phone number
