Hi,

I'm the Mobile team leader, thanks for your suggestions and feedback (and for opening the issue in the tracker).

Certainly, the lesson module is the most requested one (of those missing in the app), in the last Moodlemoots we did Mobile Workshops and the participants voted for the lesson module too.

I did an initial evaluation to evaluate how difficult would be to implement it and I noticed that the current code will require a complete refactor, moving code to new functions/APIs that can be exported via Web Services so the mobile app can "communicate" with Moodle.

It would be a lot of work but I think we would be able to do it, I see it difficult to land in Moodle 3.2, but Moodle 3.3 sounds reasonable.

Regards, Juan

Did anything happen with this?

Moodle 3.3 is already out, but we still have trouble accessing Lesson activities through the app... sad

Yes, I can confirm that with the latest version of the Mobile app, lessons are available through the app. Do you definitely have the latest version of the Moodle Mobile app? (download link)

My lessons are available through the app, but I can't see any download-button in the right upper corner to download the content so I can use it offline.  Are lessons now available offline throug the app?


Bet regards Asle

Hi Asle,

if your lesson uses questions, the teacher needs to enable the download in the lesson settings (via 'Allow lesson to be attempted offline using the mobile app')

Thank you for your answer!

Unfortunately I'm not able to find that setting.

Asle,

The setting is a little hard to find. Select the gear icon to edit the

Lesson settings, then go to Availability and expand the options. At the

bottom you will see a 'Show more' link. Select this and you will see an

option to 'Allow Lesson to be attempted offline using the mobile app'. Set

the answer to 'yes' and you should be fine. Try it and report back here

please. When I did this myself, I found the Lesson became very slow and

some of my custom audio players did not work...

Thank you for you patience! Now I found it smile

I have only made a litte test-lesson with some pictures and pages, so I don't know if the offline-mark make the lesson slow. I will report later if I recognize that.
