Technology and Learning: Add mobile support to your Moodle plugin – Part One

With version 3 of Moodle came the Moodle Mobile app. Out of the box, most of the core Moodle plugins came supported. But, third-party plugins do not function by default in the mobile app.

In Moodle 3.1, the mobile app added support for “Remote add-ons“. This support allows plugin providers to add support so that their plugin can function within the mobile app.

Now, I should point out that Moodle is currently working on a much simpler system for adding mobile support to your plugin, but it will be a while before it is ready. When it is ready, the work I am about to undertake will likely be moot.

This post will be the first in a series where I will attempt to add mobile support for my questionnaire module. I say “attempt”, because this will be using some technologies that I am not familiar with so I will be learning as I go. I won’t guarantee success, but I will document the efforts.
