[Xerte] Moodle MObile

Thu Jan 6 10:52:43 GMT 2011

In terms of commercial content from publishers, ePub (an xml based
developer friendly format) is solidly embedded in Europe, US and growing
in Asia so Xerte being able to output the XML to different devices is
exactly parallel to the commercial trends in big publishing houses.

When I have Xerte fantasies I think of tutors having XOT templates which
can be filtered by operating system so as an author you click a drop
down list on XOT to select "Android" or "PC" or "iPhone" etc and a set
of templates appears that will run on that particular operating system.

That would be a great community development for people to bid for when
funds come round....

Maybe I can use this list to alert funding opportunities as well so that
people could form consortia round the list contributors...

Hmmm...

One viable route would be Xerte method.....
I mean..., RLO is basically an XML structure and have different apps on
the different platforms to interpret and run them....

Rationale:
Using standards, the non-flash supoort on iOS sucks, because in my
opinion that only leaves HTML5, which isn't mature enough (in my humble
opinion).

So, for the time being, that implies dedicated players interpreting same
'documents'....

But I would be very interested in other solutions!

Tom

OK, let's try another question.

What would you choose to develop applications and content for mobile
devices.

You need to author once, deliver anywhere: same source code has to go to
Android, iOS, Blackberry at the very least.

Must have very good support for handling all sorts of external data
sources.

Must have currency, so third party developers can be contracted for work
if required.

Preferably has decent sized, active community of developers.

"(or any other JAVA and Internet capable device)".

Tablets anyone?

My thoughts entirely - Moodle is good stuff but somewhat clunky on a
laptop never mind a phone...

Sounds cool but...does anyone really do courses on their 2X2 phone
screen? Are there any research numbers anywhere on this?

The MOMO (Mobile Moodle) project is an Add-On to the popular Moodle
<http://www.mobilemoodle.org/momo18/course/www.moodle.org>  Learning
Management System. It brings the ability to implement mobile learning
scenarios with Moodle as a backend.

Mobile users install the MOMO client, a JAVA based application, on their
mobile phones (or any other JAVA and Internet capable device). Through
this client they can access courses wherever they are, which allows
completely new scenarios.

Administrators install the necessary MOMO extension on their Moodle
server which makes the compatible contents available for mobile usage.
They can configure and maintain the system through the integrated
administration interface all within Moodle.

Teachers can design courses with either several mobile elements or
complete mobile learning scenarios using the tools and methodologies
they know from within Moodle.
