See the user documentation Moodle Mobile SCORM player for technical details and the complete list of features.

This feature requires Moodle 3.0 or the Moodle App additional features plugin for sites running Moodle 2.6 to Moodle 2.9 installed.

Many thanks to Learning Lab of DanChurchAid via Danish development aid (DANIDA) who contributed to the funding of these developments for Moodle Mobile. The purpose is to help cater for course content access in areas where network connectivity is not always available. For the specific project in question, this development allows Syrian teachers to access learning material on risk education, which they can use to teach children, youth and the community at large about the dangers of mines and unexploded ammunitions.
