FeaturesSimple UI

●Start or continue attempts.




FeaturesSimple UI

●Attempt and synchronization information.




FeaturesOffline mode:

●All interactions and data that are tracked by the SCORM package are saved.

●When a user is online again, the offline data is synchronised back to the Moodle site.





●Data is merged with other incomplete attempts on the site or saved as a new attempt.

●Data is merged only when we are sure that it didn’t create inconsistencies in the existing attempt.





●If we detect any inconsistency, a new attempt is created (if possible)




Requirements●Requires Moodle 3.0 and onwards.

●The Moodle Mobile SCORM player may be used on sites running Moodle 2.6 to Moodle 2.9 if the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin is installed.




Requirements

If the playing of SCORM packages offline is not desired, the setting 'Protect package downloads' could be enabled.

If the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin is being used, the settings can be found in: Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Moodle Mobile additional features.




SCORM packages

●The package should work well if it was designed to work in small screens in phone or tablets.

●Old SCORM packages designed with old authoring tools may not work as expected.

●For old packages, we tried to fix some features at run-time (like links using the target property)




Tips for friendly SCORMs●Try to reduce the image size and use mobile-compatible formats e.g. png

●Try to reduce the video size and use mobile-compatible formats e.g. mp4




Tips for friendly SCORMs●In general, try to keep the SCORM package small in size. The full package will be downloaded in the user’s device because it has to be uncompressed (unzipped) and to make it available offline.

●Device storage sometimes is limited, so avoid large SCORM packages!




Tips for friendly SCORMs●Avoid using Flash or the FLV format

●Avoid using images, files or media on remote sites because they won’t be available offline.




Tips for friendly SCORMs●Avoid using pop-ups

●Avoid using links with the target property (_top, _blank, _self…)

●Avoid using nested iframes, framesets




Tips for friendly SCORMs●Avoid using advanced HTML5 features, as they may not be supported by old devices such as iPhone 4 or Android < 4.4

●Avoid having a left navigation menu as part of the SCORM package, as this reduces the space available for the package content.
