Configuring the Moodle Workplace app

The beauty of the Moodle Workplace app is that it can be customized "from the outside"—that is, by configuration only. In this chapter, you will learn how to tailor the app to your learners' needs. The two main areas of customization are as follows:

  • Mobile features
  • Mobile notifications

It is also possible to extend the functionality of the mobile app via development. However, that is beyond the scope of this book since programming skills are needed. More details can be found at docs.moodle.org/dev/Mobile_support_for_plugins. Let's get started with the mobile app features.
