New “Moodle Mobile” app could be interesting
The official Moodle Mobile app has been recently released on Google Play, Apple and Windows Market App Stores.
It is important to mention that the app only works with Moodle sites that have been configured to allow it (although we consider it an interesting app, currently the Virtual Classrooms of the PAHO Virtual Campus for Public Health do not include this option, while we wait for improvements).
Also worth noting is that the app is only a complement for Moodle mobile theme (responsive theme), which offers many more possibilities for users in their course activities.
The Moodle Mobile app is primarily designed to integrate Moodle with mobiles (smarthphones, for example).
In the app description states that you can use this application to:
- Browse the content of our courses, even offline
- Receive instant notifications of messages and other events
- Quickly find and connect with others in our courses
- Upload images, audio, videos and other files from your mobile device

Other features:
- Upload images, photos, videos to your "private files" area
- Send a private message to a course participant
- Take a personal note about a course participant
- Call a course participant touching the phone number
- Add a course participant to your phone contact
- Download and view some course resources
