Creating mobile-friendly courses

Encouraging students to install the 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 your 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

Consider offering your students a guide (as a PDF or a page resource) on how to access your course on the app, what they can do and not (yet) do from the app. Read up on the Moodle app features and what's  New for mobile.

Setting up your course

• Topics or weekly course format is best suited to mobile devices. In topics format, the first section or the highlighted section is shown by default in the app. In weekly format, the current week is shown.
• Don't use orphaned activities or direct links to activities (the links will work but is not the best experience for mobile).
  
• Site or course blocks are not displayed in the Mobile app, so avoid putting important information in blocks.
• If you have a mix of students accessing the course on mobile and desktop, consider asking your admin to install the Moodle Mobile availability plugin which restricts items to desktop or mobile users.

Course content

• Use responsive HTML in pages.
  
• Use a page resource instead of downloadable documents where possible.
• Avoid uploading many documents or having numerous, text heavy pages. Think more in terms of short "information-bytes".
• If you include YouTube videos, provide them also for download and offline viewing in a folder. Not all video formats are supported so add them in different formats. (MP4 is probably the most widely accepted format.)
• For YouTube or Vimeo videos, you may use Bootstrap responsive classes: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/embed/

  <div class="embed-responsive"><video...

• Note that drag and drop questions behave differently in the app. You can't drag images, you need to tap to select and tap to drop.
• Note that if you add YouTube video links or map links as URL resources, they will open automatically in the app.

• Use only plugins with mobile app support so they can be accessed via the mobile app - see Moodle plugins directory: Award: mobile app support.
• If you want to include large audio files in your course, consider including them embedded in a label or page rather than as a file resource. The reason is that embedded files will play even if the screen is locked but files won't play with the screen locked.

Media download for offline usage

To enable media files, such as video, to be downloaded

• The file must be uploaded to the course, rather than being linked to (from YouTube, Vimeo etc)
• The file must be small - less than 2MB for 3G users or less than 20MB for WiFi users

When a page containing the video is viewed (without playing the video), the file will then be downloaded.

When using Moodle Mobile 3.1 with a WiFi connection, when the video is played, the file will be downloaded in the background. The next time the video is played, the downloaded file will be used.

Offline activities

All the supported activities work offline, although some require specific settings like the quiz module. See Moodle Mobile quiz offline attempts for more information.

Things to avoid

Some activities are not yet fully supported by the mobile app, so find alternatives. See Moodle Mobile SCORM player for things to avoid in SCORM packages.

Use the latest stable version of Moodle
