As mobile learning continues to be on the rise, we at Moodle HQ have also worked on giving all our Moodle users faster and easier access to the Moodle Mobile app!
In the web version of Moodle 3.4, we have implemented a number of features that support administrators to encourage users to download and use the Moodle Mobile app (when enabled).
These features include:
- Giving users the opportunity to download the Moodle Mobile app via a link that appears on their profiles
- Footer and profile page links to download the mobile app can be redirected to an organisation’s custom or
- Branded Moodle Mobile App download page
Juan advised all Moodle Mobile users that most of the new features and improvements outlined above will only be available in the Moodle Mobile 3.4 app.
Organisations can also access all of these latest functionalities and stability of Moodle Mobile combined with their own custom branding through the Branded Moodle Mobile App.
“The Branded Moodle Mobile App has been a popular choice for organisations who use Moodle and make their courses available on the mobile and desktop app but would like to add their own personalised branding,” said Juan.
“It is also a hassle-free solution because the Branded App is fully supported and maintained by Moodle.”
More information on the Branded Moodle Mobile App can be accessed via our website or by contacting your local Moodle Partner.
