Habilite 'mobile services' en su sitio

Su sitio necesita tener habilitado el acceso móvil (mobile access = enabled) para que los usuarios puedan usar la aplicación móvil Para sitios que usan HTTPS, el acceso móvil esta habilitado por defecto en las nuevas instalaciones de Moodle 3.0 en adelante

Para los sitios http, el acceso móvil puede ser habilitado por un administrador de la siguiente manera:

  1. In Site administration > Mobile app > Mobile settings tick the 'Enable web services for mobile devices' checkbox. (For 4.0 version: In Site administration > Advanced features tick the 'Enable web services for mobile devices' checkbox
  2. Click the button to save changes.

If your site uses a SSL certificate, it must be a trusted certificate. For security reasons the app doesn't work with self-signed certificates.

Please, verify that your certificate is valid via: https://www.geocerts.com/ssl_checker (you shouldn't see any warning).

Si su sitio tiene protegido el directorio / login (hecho con frecuencia cuando se utiliza el método de autenticación Shibboleth), debe habilitar el acceso al script login/token.php.

Incrustación de marco (Frame embedding)

If your sites uses reCaptcha, Vimeo videos or custom menu items (as described bellow) you must enable the admin setting "Allow frame embedding" (allowframembedding). Please, note this is not necessary since Moodle 3.7

¿Su sitio está detrás de un proxy, un balanceador de carga o una infraestructura compleja de red?

En ese caso, Usted podría necesitar configurar los ajustes para "Ignorar proxies del servidor" en Administración del sitio > Administración > Servidor > HTTP

Simplify user onboarding

Upon opening the Moodle app, first-time users encounter a "Your site" field, where they have to input the URL of their Moodle site to access their courses. To ensure a smooth onboarding experience for new users, follow these steps:

  1. Enable the Site finder feature that allows users to find their Moodle site by name, eliminating the need to manually enter the site URL. To enable this feature, view Have your site listed in the Moodle app site finder below.
  2. Enable the QR login feature (view instructions below). This feature allows users to scan a QR code available on their Moodle profile to access their Moodle site directly from the app.
  3. For Android users and Moodle LMS 4.3 and later: Encourage users to install the Moodle app by following the Get the mobile app link at the bottom of any Moodle page (located within the "?" icon on the desktop version). When users install the app through this link, they will be automatically redirected to their site login screen, eliminating the need to manually enter the site URL.
  4. Alternatively, you can create a dedicated help page for the Moodle app. This help page should include a link to the Google Play version of the app and clearly indicate the site URL referrer. For example, if your Moodle site is mymoodlesite.com the link will be https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moodle.moodlemobile&referrer=siteurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fmymoodlesite.com

Please note that options 3&4 are not compatible with Google Workspace accounts (the installation referrer will be ignored in that case).

Have your site listed in the Moodle app site finder

The Moodle apps site finder enables a user to easily find their Moodle site by entering the name (no need to enter the site URL)

How can I have my site listed in the Moodle app site finder?

Your site will be automatically listed in the site finder if:

You can arrange for your site to be listed in the site finder as follows:

  • If your site is hosted by a Moodle Partner, please contact them to request for your site to be listed.
  • If you have a MoodleCloud site, please log in to the Moodle Apps Portal where you will find an option to have your site listed.

Otherwise, to have your site listed in the site finder, you need to purchase a Pro or Premium Moodle app subscription from the Moodle Apps Portal.

I don't want my site listed in the Moodle app site finder. How can I remove it?

You can remove your site from the site finder as follows:

  1. Log in to the Moodle Apps Portal. (If you don't yet have an account, you can create one for free.)
  2. Go to 'App customisation' -> 'Site Listing' and uncheck the option 'Visible' then save changes.

Your site will then be immediately removed from the site finder.

Alternatively, you can remove your site from the site finder by updating your site registration:

  1. Log in to your Moodle site as admin and go to 'Site administration' -> Registration.
  2. Change 'Site listing' to either 'Do not list my site' or 'Only display my site name'.

Your site will then be removed from the site finder within 24 hours.

Mobile authentication

MFA

The Moodle mobile app does not support MFA natively yet, however, you can redirect users to a browser to force the authentication process to behave exactly as Moodle LMS. You can do the previous via Site administration > Mobile authentication > Type of login and then select any of the options that mention browser.

SSO authentication method

If your site uses a SSO authentication method (Shibboleth, LDAP SSO, OAuth...), then select via a browser window or via an embedded browser for 'Type of login' (typeoflogin) in 'Mobile authentication' in the Site administration. (This setting is provided for older pre-Moodle 3.2 sites via the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin.)

The options 'browser window' and 'embedded browser' are very similar; the only difference is when redirecting the user to enter their credentials in the site, the site will be opened in the device's default browser (for browser window) or the site will be opened "embedded" in the mobile app (for embedded browser). The user experience is better in embedded browser, but not all the authentication plugins will work in embedded browser (for example, if JavaScript popups are required they must use the 'browser window'). The admin should check whether both options work, and if so, choose 'embedded browser'.

If you are using Google OAuth you will have to use the 'browser window' method because Google recently blocked authentication via 'embedded browsers'.

If your organisation uses a custom branded app and 'Type of login' is set to 'Via a browser window' or 'Via embedded browser', then a URL scheme (forcedurlscheme) may be set. This will result in only the custom branded app working for the site: the official Moodle Mobile app will not work.

QR Login

Please note that this feature requires Moodle 3.9 and is only available with a Pro or Premium Moodle app subscription. In Moodle 5.2, QR login settings are found at Site administration > Mobile app > Premium features.

As a site administrator, you can enable login via QR. Please go to Site administration > Mobile app > Mobile authentication and select "QR code with automatic login" in the "QR code access" setting

Once enabled, your students will be able to login in the app by scanning a QR code available on their Moodle site profile.

Biometric Login

This feature is only available to Pro, Premium plan customers and in Branded Moodle Apps developed by Moodle HQ.

In Moodle 5.2, biometric login settings are found at Site administration > Mobile app > Premium features.

Biometric login allows your users to log in to your site via the Moodle App on Android and iOS devices using their fingerprint, face recognition or any other biometric option available on their mobile device. This makes the login process simpler, faster and more secure, and is specially useful if Autologout is enabled on your site.

Enabling biometric login for your site

You can enable Biometric login as an authentication method through the Moodle Apps Portal, going to App customisation > Authentication > Biometric login, and then selecting "Enable biometric login". Your users will then be able to choose whether they want to use Biometric login or not.

For security reasons, users may be prompted to re-enter their credentials periodically. This interval is determined by the 'User created token duration' (tokenduration) security setting, which is set to a default duration of three months.

Setting up biometric login as a user

To use biometric login in the Moodle App, users must have biometric authentication enabled in their own device's settings (e.g. FaceID or TouchID for iOs users, or Fingerprints for Android users).

The first three times users log in to the app after you enable Biometric login, they will see a notification telling them that they can activate this new authentication method to access the app (provided that they have biometric authentication enabled in their device's settings).

Users can activate and deactivate their biometric login any time in the Moodle App in User account > Preferences.

Auto logout

From Moodle LMS 4.3 onwards, you can enhance security by enforcing automatic logout for your users when they leave or close the app, or it goes to the background.

You can even set your own custom re-authentication time, to suit your organisation's security requirements.

To activate auto logout, go to Site administration > Mobile app > Mobile authentication.

This feature is particularly effective when paired with Biometric login, since that streamlines the login process for your users.

Customise your app theme

The app can also retrieve your custom styles from your Moodle site. Since the app is a HTML5 app, you can safely apply any CSS, CSS2 and CSS3 style.

Go to Administration > Site administration > Mobile app > Mobile appearance and enter in the mobilecssurl field a valid URL pointing to a CSS file containing your custom styles.

The CSS should be placed inside your Moodle installation (in your custom theme or inside a local plugin).

For example: https://mymoodlesite.com/theme/mytheme/style/mymobileapp.css

Once the user is logged in the app, remote CSS files for applying your custom styles are regularly retrieved.

Notice that on the first time a user opens the app, he will see the default "orange" style. Your custom styles will be applied once the user has added a site in the app.

For further information, see the dev docs Moodle Mobile Themes.

If you want your own custom branding for your organization, Moodle offers the The Branded Moodle Mobile app service, please visit https://moodle.com/app/ for more information.

Moodle Mobile additional features plugin for old Moodle sites

For old Moodle sites it is recommended to install the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin.

Notifications

You might find them annoying but push notifications keeps you and your users informed and updated on everything about the app. Moodle only send useful and important notifications such as new features or service disruptions.

Enabling push notifications is easy! An administrator can enable it by connecting their Moodle site/s to our free Notifications server available (only) for registered Moodle sites.

An access key can be obtained via Site administration > General > Messaging > Notification settings. Be sure the 'Mobile' is enabled and then click the link to settings, on the next page select Request access key. (For Moodle site versions 3.5 and 3.6 an access key can be obtained via Site administration > Plugins > Message outputs > Manage message outputs. Then by clicking the link to the Mobile settings, on the next page select Request access key.)

The full guide on enabling push notifications can be found here: Mobile app notifications

App banners

Moodle Mobile app banner

App banners let your users know a mobile app is available for the site. App banners are only displayed when accessing the site using a mobile browser.

App banners are disabled by default. They can be enabled in 'Mobile appearance' in the Site administration.

If you are using a custom mobile app, you must provide the unique identifier for the iOS and Android app; if you use the Moodle Mobile app, the settings may be left as default.

Please, notice the following:

  • App banners for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad or iPod) are only shown when accessing the site using the Safari browser and the mobile app is not installed on the device yet. App banners are not displayed when using private browsing either.
  • App banners for Android devices are only shown in very recent Chrome browser versions and when the app is not installed. Note also that Chrome uses an engagement heuristic that will display the banner only under certain conditions, like interactions with the site, the last time you interacted with it, etc. You can remove the engagement restriction check by disabling this special chrome flag: chrome://flags/#bypass-app-banner-engagement-checks. Please note also that certain custom Android versions (such as Samsung and Huawei ones) do not always support this feature

'Get the mobile app' link

In Moodle 3.4 onwards, the link 'Get the mobile app' in the footer of each page on the site encourages users to make use of the mobile app.

By default, the link is https://download.moodle.org/mobile however the setting 'App download page' can be changed e.g. for sites using a branded mobile app.

If mobile services are not enabled for the site, then the 'Get the mobile app' link is not displayed.

To prevent the 'Get the mobile app' link being displayed, simply remove the URL from the 'App download page' setting and save changes.

Configuring the app from your site

IMPORTANT: The type and number of features that you can customise depend on your Moodle app plan. In Moodle 5.2, subscription-dependent settings are consolidated at Site administration > Mobile app > Premium features. You can register for free at https://apps.moodle.com.

In Moodle 3.3 onwards, or with the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin, settings in the Site administration enable admins to configure the app.

  • In Moodle 3.3 onwards go to Site administration > Mobile features
  • In sites with the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin installed, go to Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Mobile additional features

Force log out

Replace the Change site option to "Log out" so that users must enter their credentials on their next access. This is useful for custom mobile apps, as there is no reason for users wanting to switch to a different site.

Disabled features

The mobile app may be simplified by removing unwanted features. Some items may already be not available in the app because they are not enabled on your site.

Options to remove include:

  • Offline use
  • Blocks (Note that from Moodle 4.3.1 the Global search and Search forums blocks can be removed.)
  • Comments
  • Ratings
  • Tags
  • Create new account
  • Responsive menu items
  • Main menu

  • Blocks (Each block available in the app can be disabled separately)

Custom menu items

Additional items can be added to the app main menu (the more menu), such as a link to a different grade book.

In order to do so go to "Site administration > Mobile features > Custom menu items"

Each custom menu item should have the format: item text, link URL, link-opening method and language code (optional, for displaying the item to users of the specified language only), icon (optional, the name of the icon from https://ionicons.com) separated by pipe characters.

Possible link-opening methods are:

  • app - for linking to an activity supported by the app i.e. almost all activity types, as listed in Moodle Mobile features.
  • inappbrowser - for linking to external URLs or site functionalities not supported by the app. The link will open in a browser inside the app overlaying the complete screen.
  • browser - as for inappbrowser except that the link will instead open in the device default browser outside the app.
  • embedded - as for inappbrowser except that the link will instead open in an iframe in a new page in the app. (For this option you may need to enable the admin setting "Allow frame embedding" (allowframembedding)

Tip: If you add a custom menu item and save changes, then it doesn't appear in the app main menu, double check that the item is correctly formatted.

Please, note that if custom menu items have the same URL, same link-opening method, and same language only the first custom menu item will be shown.

Please, note that if the app is using a language not indicated in the previous list, the first language in the list will be used. (So if you have a custom menu item in English (en) and French (fr), and the app is using Spanish the user will still see that custom menu item in English)

If you want options tied to a language, you can append _only to the language code, for example: en_only es_only, will display the custom menu item only when the app language is English or Spanish.

Example of a menu item (it will display a home icon followed by Academy information linking to the URL indicated): 

Academy information|https://yoursite.com/mod/page/view.php?id=X |app|en|home

Responsive menu items

From 3.7 onwards menu items on bottom tabs are moved to the side of the screen on big screens. Also the number of items displayed on the menu may vary:

  • On small screens (usually phones) from 2 to 5 items will be displayed depending on the size of the screen.
  • On big screens (usually tablets an desktop version) more than 2 items will be displayed without limit.

If Responsive menu items is selected in Disabled features items will be displayed in side of bottom anyway but 5 items will be displayed in all cases without depending on the size of the screen.

Custom language strings

Words and phrases displayed in the app can be customised via the "Site administration > Mobile app features > Custom language strings" (customlangstrings) setting.

Enter each custom language string on a new line with format: string identifier, custom language string and language code, separated by pipe characters. For example: 

core.user.student|Learner|en
core.user.student|Aprendiz|es

The complete list of string identifiers is listed in https://latest.apps.moodledemo.net/assets/lang/en.json (for the Workplace app use this link).

The string identifier is before the colon.

For example:

"core.user.student": "Student",

means that the string "Student" has string identifier "core.user.student".

Dominios JavaScript enlistados como permitidos

¡Nueva característica
en Moodle 5.2 !

En esta nueva configuración, usted puede especificar los dominios desde los que la aplicación Moodle permite la carga de archivos JavaScript externos al detectarlos en el contenido HTML generado por el usuario.

Cada dominio debe escribirse en una línea independiente. Se permitirá la carga de scripts cuyo origen pertenezca a alguno de los dominios indicados. Los scripts de otros dominios seguirán bloqueados.

El JavaScript en línea siempre está bloqueado y no se permite en la aplicación móvil.

Analíticas y estadísticas

Estadísticas del uso de su sitio Moodle

Para obtener información sobre el uso de la App Moodle, los administradores del sitio y los profesores pueden consultar las bitácoras (registros) del sitio, del curso o de la actividad.

  • Las bitácoras (registros) del sitio están disponibles en "Administración del sitio > Reportes > Bitácoras".
  • Las bitácoras (registros) del curso están disponibles en las opciones del curso (en la parte superior de la página del curso): "Reportes > Bitácoras".
  • Las bitácoras (registros) de actividad están disponibles en la página de actividad; en la parte superior encontrará "Reportes > Bitácoras".

Entre los filtros de bitácoras, hay un campo llamado "Todas las fuentes" con la opción "Servicio web/ws" que permite filtrar las bitácoras generadas por la aplicación móvil.

Usted puede comparar el número de entradas de bitácoras generadas por la "Web" frente a las generadas por el "Servicio web" (aplicación móvil) para tener una idea general de cómo utilizan la plataforma sus usuarios.

Tenga en cuenta que si tiene "Servicios web" personalizados o un plugin instalado que utiliza servicios web, también verá sus entradas en el mismo filtro.

Si usted tiene acceso a la base de datos del sitio, la tabla "external_tokens" tiene un campo de marca de tiempo "lastaccess" que podría usarse para obtener los usuarios activos de la aplicación cada día.

Integración con analíticas de Matomo

Nota: Esta característica está disponible para Premium app plans and Branded Moodle Apps. Para usar esta integración, usted necesita tener su propia instancia de Matomo.

Matomo es una herramienta de análisis web de código abierto que le ayuda a monitorizar el tráfico de su sitio Moodle, incluida la actividad de las aplicaciones.

Connecting to your Matomo instance in the Apps portal

Moodle App Matomo Integration set up

To use Matomo to track app activity on your Moodle site, you will need to have your own instance of Matomo analytics, and to add your Moodle site as one of your measurable websites (see instructions on Matomo's website). Then, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Apps portal.
  2. Go to App customisation > Analytics > Matomo analytics.
  3. Check Track app activity.
  4. Add your Matomo URL - that's the URL of your Matomo instance, for example https://yoursite.matomo.cloud.
  5. Add the Website ID associated with your Moodle site in Matomo. To obtain this ID:
    1. Log in to your Matomo account.
    2. Go to Administration using the gear icon on the right side of the top navigation bar.
    3. On the left-hand panel, select Websites > Manage.
    4. In your list of measurables, find the Moodle site in which you want to track app activity. The ID of the measurable is the Website ID you need to enter in the apps portal.
  6. Click Save changes to establish the connection and start tracking app activity.
  7. If you'd like to stop tracking at any time, uncheck Track app activity and then save changes.


To filter Matomo data to isolate mobile app usage from Moodle site interactions, follow these steps:

Moodle App Matomo referrer set-up
  1. Log in to your Matomo account.
  2. Click All visits at the top of the page
  3. Create a custom segment by applying this configuration: "Referrer URL" "is" "https://moodlemobile"
  4. To only see Moodle site interactions, do the following: "Referrer URL" "is not" "https://moodlemobile"

Please notice that the integration with Matomo does not work offline.

Analíticas de Google para Firebase

Solamente diponible cuando compró una Branded Moodle App.

Google Analytics para Firebase es una herramienta gratuita que proporciona información valiosa y datos sobre cómo interactúan los usuarios con las aplicaciones móviles.

Tenga en cuenta que la integración con Google Analytics para Firebase no funciona sin conexión a internet.

Estadísticas de Google Play y Apple App Store

If you have a custom mobile application, you can access statistics about app downloads and user engagement such as weekly active users and devices.

Google play:

  1. Go to Google Play console: https://play.google.com/console
  2. Select your app from the list.
  3. Navigate to specific tabs, such as "Statistics"


Apple App Store:

  1. Log in to App Store Connect: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
  2. Go to "App Analytics" from the dashboard.

Duración del token de servicios web

From Moodle 3.4 onwards, an admin can set how long a web services token created by a user (for example via the mobile app) is valid. (In previous versions of Moodle a token was valid for 3 months.)

The setting that dictates the previous 'User created token duration' (tokenduration) can be found under the Security section.

Caché de la App

La aplicación almacena en caché las solicitudes de servicios web para reducir el consumo de datos y aumentar su velocidad. Cuando la aplicación necesita obtener datos de Moodle, utiliza una solicitud almacenada en caché mientras no haya caducado.

Esta caché se mejoró en la versión 3.7.0 de la aplicación Moodle. Ahora existen varios tiempos de caché según el servicio web al que se llame. Esto significa que algunas solicitudes caducarán con más frecuencia que otras. Además, si el usuario no utiliza una conexión Wi-Fi, el tiempo de caducidad también será mayor para reducir el consumo de datos. Estos tiempos de caché no se pueden configurar mediante los ajustes de Moodle.

Por favor, compruebe que su certificado es válido a través de: https://www.geocerts.com/ssl_checker (no debería ver ninguna advertencia).

Si su sitio tiene protegido el directorio / login (hecho con frecuencia cuando se utiliza el método de autenticación Shibboleth), debe habilitar el acceso al script login/token.php.

Incrustación de marco (Frame embedding)

Si su sitio usa reCaptcha, videos Vimeo o ítems de menú personalizados (como se describe debajo) Usted debe habilitar la configuración administrativa "Permitir incrustación de marco Allow frame embedding" (allowframembedding). Por favor tenga en cuenta que esto ya no es necesario a partir de Moodle 3.7

¿Su sitio está detrás de un proxy, un balanceador de carga o una infraestructura compleja de red?

En ese caso, Usted podría necesitar configurar los ajustes para "Ignorar proxies del servidor" en Administración del sitio > Administración > Servidor > HTTP

Registre su sitio en el Portal de Moodle Apps

Nosotros recomendamos encarecidamente que registre gratuitamente su sitio en el portal de Moodle Apps: https://apps.moodle.com

Usted podrá obtener estadísticas como por ejemplo el número de dispositivos de usuarios activos que están recibiendo Notificaciones Push y podrá actualizar a un Plan Pro/Premium plan para disfrutar de características exclusivas.

Simplificar el ingreso del usuario

It's not uncommon for first-time users of the Moodle app to feel a bit lost when they encounter the "Your site" box upon opening the app. This box is where users need to input the URL of their Moodle site in order to access their courses. Here are some steps you can follow to help new users navigate this process:

  1. Enable the "Site finder" feature that allows users to find their Moodle site by name, eliminating the need to manually enter the site URL. To enable this feature see the next section.
  2. Enable the “QR login” feature (see below) so they can use the “Scan QR code” button to scan the QR Code available on their profile.
  3. For Android users and Moodle LMS 4.3 onward only, encourage them to install the app by following the “Get the mobile app” link at the bottom of any Moodle page (within the “?” icon on desktop). If they install the app by following the link, they will be automatically redirected to their site login screen.
  4. Custom help page: Alternatively and regardless of the Moodle LMS version, you can have your own help page for the Mobile app including a link to the Google Play version of the app indicating your site URL referrer. For example, if your Moodle site is mymoodlesite.com the link will be https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moodle.moodlemobile&referrer=siteurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fmymoodlesite.com

Please notice that options 3&4 are not compatible with Google Workspace accounts (the installation referrer will be ignored in this case)


Tenga su sitio enlistado en el buscador de sitios de la App Moodle

The Moodle apps site finder enables a user to easily find their Moodle site by entering the name (no need to enter the site URL)

¿Cómo puedo tener mi sitio enlistado en el buscador de sitios de Moodle App?

Your site will be automatically listed in the site finder if:

You can arrange for your site to be listed in the site finder as follows:

  • If your site is hosted by a Moodle Partner, please contact them to request for your site to be listed.
  • If you have a MoodleCloud site, please log in to the Moodle Apps Portal where you will find an option to have your site listed.

Otherwise, to have your site listed in the site finder, you need to purchase a Pro or Premium Moodle app subscription from the Moodle Apps Portal.

No quiero que mi sitio esté enlistado en el buscador de sitio de la App Moodle. ¿Cómo puedo quitarlo?

You can remove your site from the site finder as follows:

  1. Log in to the Moodle Apps Portal. (If you don't yet have an account, you can create one for free.)
  2. Go to ‘App customisation’ -> ‘Site Listing’ and uncheck the option ‘Visible’ then save changes.

Your site will then be immediately removed from the site finder.

Alternatively, you can remove your site from the site finder by updating your site registration:

  1. Log in to your Moodle site as admin and go to ‘Site administration’ -> Registration.
  2. Change ‘Site listing’ to either ‘Do not list my site’ or ‘Only display my site name’.

Your site will then be removed from the site finder within 24 hours.


Autenticación Mobile

Método de autenticación SSO

Si sus sitios utilizan un método SSO (Single Sign On = Ingreso Único) como CAS, Shibboleth, LDAP SSO, OAuth ..., entonces seleccione, vía una ventana del navegador, o vía un navegador incorporado, para el 'Tipo de ingreso' (typeoflogin) en 'Autenticación Mobile' en la Administración del sitio. (Esta configuración es proporcionada para sitios antiguos anteriores a Moodle 3.2 vía el plugin de Características adicionales de Moodle Móvil

Las opciones 'ventana del navegador' y 'navegador incrustado' son muy similares; la única diferencia es cuando se redirecciona al usuario para que ingrese sus credenciales en el sitio, el sitio será abierto en el navegador por defecto del dispositivo (para ventana del navegador) o el sitio será abierto "incrustado" en la App Mobile (para navegador incrustado). La experiencia del usuario es mejor en navegador incrustado, pero no todos los plugins de Autenticación funcionarán en un navegador incrustado (por ejemplo, si se necesitan ventanas emergentes de JavaScript éstas tienen que usar la 'ventana del navegador'). El administrador debería de revisar si es que ambas opciones le funcionarán; y si así fuera, elegir entonces 'navegador incrustado'.

Si su organización usa una App personalizada y el 'Tipo de ingreso' está configurado a 'Via una ventana del navegador' o 'Via navegador incrustado', entonces puede configurarse un esquema URL (forcedurlscheme). Esto resultará en que solamente la App personalizada funcionará para el sitio: La App oficial de Moodle Mobile no funcionará.

Ingreso por QR

Por favor tenga en cuenta que esta característica requiere Moodle 3.9 y solamente está disponible si usted está disfrutando de un Pro/Premium plan.

Como administrador del sitio, usted puede habilitar el ingreso via QR. Por favor, vaya a Administración del sitio > App Mobile > Autenticación Mobile y seleccione "Código QR con ingreso automático" en la configuración de "Acceso por código QR".

Una vez habilitado, sus estudiantes podrán ingresar en la App al escanear un código QR disponible en su perfil de Moodle.

Personalización del tema (theme) de la app

The app can also retrieve your custom styles from your Moodle site. Since the app is a HTML5 app, you can safely apply any CSS, CSS2 and CSS3 style.

Go to Administration > Site administration > Mobile app > appearance and enter in the mobilecssurl field a valid URL pointing to a CSS file containing your custom styles.

The CSS should be placed inside your Moodle installation (in your custom theme or inside a local plugin).

Once the user is logged in the app, remote CSS files for applying your custom styles are regularly retrieved.

Notice that on the first time a user opens the app, he will see the default "orange" style. Your custom styles will be applied once the user has added a site in the app.

For further information, see the dev docs Moodle Mobile Themes.

If you want your own custom branding for your organization, Moodle offers the The Branded Moodle Mobile app service, please visit https://moodle.com/app/ for more information.

Notificaciones

You might find them annoying but push notifications keeps you and your users informed and updated on everything about the app. Moodle only send useful and important notifications such as new features or service disruptions.

Enabling push notifications is easy! An administrator can enable it by connecting their Moodle site/s to our free Notifications server available (only) for registered Moodle sites.

An access key can be obtained via Site administration > Plugins > Message outputs > Manage message outputs. Then by clicking the link to the Mobile settings, on the next page select Request access key.

The full guide on enabling push notifications can be found here: Notificaciones de Moodle Mobile

App banners

Moodle Mobile app banner

App banners let your users know that there is a mobile app available for the site. App banners are only displayed when accessing the site using a mobile browser.

In Moodle 3.3 onwards, app banners for Android are supported as well as for iOS.

App banners are disabled by default. They can be enabled in 'Mobile appearance' in the Site administration.

If you are using a custom mobile app, you need to provide the unique identifier for the iOS and Android app; if you are using the Moodle Mobile app, the settings may be left as default.

Enlace para 'Obtener la App mobile'

¡Nueva característica
en Moodle 3.4! De Moodle 3.4 en adelante, el enlace para 'Obtener la App mobile' en el pie de página de cada página del sitio motiva a los usuarios para que hagan uso de la App Mobile.

Por defecto, el enlace es hacia https://download.moodle.org/mobile aunque la configuración 'Página para descarga de la App' puede ser cambiada; por ejemplo, para los sitios que usan una Appp Mobile personalizada.

Si los servicios Mobile no están habilitados para el sitio, entonces no se muestra el enlace para 'Obtener la App mobile'.

Para evitar que se muestre el enlace para 'Obtener la App mobile' simplemente quite la URL de la configuración de 'Página de descarga de la App' y guarde los cambios.

Configuración de la App desde su sitio

IMPORTANTE: Por favor tenga en cuenta que el tipo y número de características que Usted puede personalizar dependen de su plan de Moodle Apps, Usted puede registrar su sitio gratuitamente en https://apps.moodle.com para revisar los diferentes planes.

  • En Moodle 3.3 en adelante vaya a Administración del sitio > Características Mobile
  • En sitios con el plugin de Características adicionales de Moodle Mobile instalado, vaya a Administración del sitio > Plugins > Plugins locales > Características adicionales de Moodle Mobile

Forzar salida del sitio

Replace the Change site option to "Log out" so that users must enter their credentials on their next access. This is useful for custom mobile apps, as there is no reason for users wanting to switch to a different site.

Options to remove include:

Ítems de menú personalizados

Additional items can be added to the app main menu (the more menu), such as a link to a different grade book.

Each custom menu item should have format: item text, link URL, link-opening method and language code (optional, for displaying the item to users of the specified language only), separated by pipe characters.

Possible link-opening methods are:

  • app - for linking to an activity supported by the app i.e. almost all activity types, as listed in Moodle Mobile features.
  • inappbrowser - for linking to external URLs or site functionalities not supported by the app. The link will open in a browser inside the app overlaying the complete screen.
  • browser - as for inappbrowser except that the link will instead open in the device default browser outside the app.
  • embedded - as for inappbrowser except that the link will instead open in an iframe in a new page in the app. (For this option you may need to enable the admin setting "Allow frame embedding" (allowframembedding)

Tip: If you add a custom menu item and save changes, then it doesn't appear in the app main menu, double check that the item is correctly formatted.

Please, note that if custom menu items have the same URL, same link-opening method, and same language only the first custom menu item will be shown.

Please, note that if the app is using a language not indicated in the previous list, the first language in the list will be used. (So if you have a custom menu item in English (en) and French (fr), and the app is using Spanish the user will still see that custom menu item in English)

If you want options tied to a language, you can append _only to the language code, for example: en_only es_only s_only, will display the custom menu item only when the app language is English or Spanish.

Ítems responsivos del menú

A partir de 3.7 en adelante, los ítems del emnú en las pestañas del fondo están movidos al lado de la pantalla en pantallas grandes. También el número de ítems mostrados en el menú puede variar:

  • En pantallas pequeñas (usualmente teléfonos) de 2 a 5 ítems serán mostrados dependiendo del tamaño de la pantalla.
  • En pantallas grandes (usualmente tabletas y versión para escritorio) más de 2 ítems serán mostrados sin límite.

Si se selecciona Ítems responsivos del menúen las características deshabilitadas, los ítems serán mostrados en el lado del fondo de cualquier forma, pero 5 ítems serán mostrados en todos los casos sin importar el tamaño de la pantalla.

Cadenas personalizadas del idioma

Palabras y frases mostradas en la App pueden ser personalizadas mediante la configuración "Cadenas personalizadas del idioma" (customlangstrings).

Ingrese cada cadena personalizada del idioma en una línea nueva con el formato: identificador_de_la_cadena, cadena_de_idioma_personalizada y código_del_idioma, separados por el caracter de barra vertical | . Por ejemplo: 

core.user.student|Learner|en
core.user.student|Aprendiz|es

La lista completa de identificadores de cadenas de caracteres está enlistada en https://latest.apps.moodledemo.net/assets/lang/en.json

El identificador de cadena está antes del caracter de los dos puntos.

Por ejemplo: "core.user.student": "Student",

significa que la cadena "Student" tiene el identificador_de_cadena "core.user.student".

Estadísticas

Para recuperar información acerca del uso de la App Moodle, los administradores del sitio y los profesores pueden comprobar las bitácoras del sistema, curso y actividad.

Nota: Pendiente de Traducir. ¡Anímese a traducir esta página!.     ( y otras páginas pendientes)

Among the log filters, there is a field called "All sources" with an option "Web Service" that can be used to filter the entry logs generated by the mobile application.

You can compare the number of log entries generated by the "Web" versus "Web Service" (mobile app) to have an overall idea about how your users use the platform.

Please, notice that if you have custom "Web Services" or an installed plugin that uses Web Services, you will also see entries for them under the same filter.


Duración del token de servicios web

¡Nueva característica
en Moodle 3.4! A partir de Moodle 3.4 en adelante, un administrador puede configurar por cuanto tiempo es válido un token de servicio web creada por un usuario (por ejemplo, vía la App mobile). (En versiones anteriores de Moodle un token era válido por tres meses.)

Caché de la App

The app caches WebService requests to decrease data usage and increase the app's speed. When the app needs to get some data from Moodle, it will use a cached request as long as it isn't expired.

This cache was improved in Moodle App 3.7.0, now there are several cache times depending on the WS being called. This means that some requests will expire more often than others. Also, if the user isn't using a WiFi connection, the expiration time will also be longer to decrease the data usage. These cache times cannot be configured using a Moodle setting.
