Chapter 2. Setting Up Moodle for Mobile Learning

We now know why mobile learning is so important, and hopefully you are starting to have some thoughts about particular mobile learning activities that may be suitable for your organization. The next step is to get your Moodle site setup so that it can be used for mobile learning.

Mobile support in Moodle depends upon the version of Moodle you are using. At a minimum you will require Moodle 2.2, which was the first version to officially have any level of mobile support.

You may know that Moodle uses what is called themes to control page layouts and styles. Moodle comes with a handful of built-in themes, and you can use these on your site to achieve the look and feel that is right for you. You can even build your own themes if you have the development expertise.
