How to Use Moodle Mobile and Download Course Files for Offline Use

 To use the Moodle app offline, download courses or specific activities while connected to the internet by clicking the cloud icon or menu options within a course. The app stores content like text and PDFs for offline viewing, while offline submissions (quizzes, assignments) are queued and automatically sync when you reconnect. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Steps for Offline Access
  • Download Course Content: In the Moodle app, navigate to your course, click the three-dots menu (top right), and select "Download".
  • Identify Offline Availability: Look for a green checkmark or solid icon indicating content is downloaded and available.
  • Handle Large Files: The app warns you when downloading large files.
  • Attempt Quizzes Offline: If enabled by your teacher, you can take quizzes while disconnected. The app saves answers and syncs them once you are online. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Limitations
  • No Embedded Content: External content like YouTube videos or embedded audio/video usually cannot be accessed offline.
  • Sync Requirements: The app must be open or running in the background for data to sync once internet is restored.
  • Check Availability: Some activities with specific restrictions may not function offline.
  • Set Permissions: Teachers must ensure "Allow lesson/quiz to be attempted offline" is enabled for specific activities. [1, 2, 3, 4]
