Thanks for taking the time. I saved your CSS in a file 401.scss (attached) and uploaded it to mysite/admin/settings.php?section=themesettingboost > Additional theme preset files (theme_boost | presetfiles). No visible change.

What have I done wrong?

This vertical empty space and each activity in its own card, made me curious. Here is a comparison of 3.9 vs 4.1, both Boost. The size of the browser window is what I usually have in my workhorse ThinkPad X240 with its 1366x768 12.5" screen. All screen shots are the full FireFox window at vertical 768 pixel height.


Moodle 3.9: I can see the whole sub-section "4.1 The STACK question type"




Moodle 4.1 Needs two screens to show the same sub-section!

Notice that the course has 6 sections, each having a couple of sub-sections. I can't imagine what kind of empty courses the designers were looking at.

Highly reluctant smartphone user here.

People told me in a meeting all sorts of stories about the limitations of the Moodle App. I'm (easily) confused, because I don't even know the jargon. Could somebody with patience answer me the questions below and confirm my understanding otherwise or correct me?

I read these three pages:
1. Moodle App limitations



2. Prising, Choose your plan


3. What's Included in The Free Plan


My questions:
Q1. What is a "push notification"? In the Web version Moodle sends forum notifications and also Moodlle messages are mailed to off-line users. Are they "push notifications" or is it something else?

Let's say an *educational* institution puts up a Moodle LMS.
a) Assume not a single one of its users have Moodle App on their mobile so far.

Q2. Can all of them, independent of the number, connect to that Moodle via the App? Specifically, can they use the off-line features like writing forum posts, submitting assignments, answer properly configured quizzes? They get mail notifications from the forum and messaging in Moodle?

b) Now assume some of those users need to access other Moodle sites using the Mobile App.

Q3. I believe they can store a number of sites (logins) stored in the App and hop between them. What is the limit of that number?

Q4. How far does the branding go?

Notice that this is an educational institution. Not interested in branding, other than no third party products or links on the App. Mentioning Moodle and links to moodle.org are OK.

Q5. If the institution goes for a paid plan, say Pro or Premium, the amounts are EUR 199.- resp. EUR 499.- p.a. per institution or per Moodle instance? Is it independent of the number of users?

The other way around, install RACHEL on a MoodleBox, is possible: https://discuss.moodlebox.net/d/79-add-rachel-usb-on-moodlebox. (There is a great "search the forum" function on that site.)

On "pursue education in remote places with highly intermittent power supplies and expensive Web access" underdeveloped infrastructure is one thing, underdeveloped ❤️ are something deeper.
