synchronised back to the Moodle site.

or saved as a new attempt.
● Data is merged only when we are sure that it didn’t create
inconsistencies in the existing attempt.

Features
Offline mode:
● If we detect any inconsistency, a new attempt is created
(if possible)

Requirements
● Requires Moodle 3.0 and onwards.
● The Moodle Mobile SCORM player may be used on sites
running Moodle 2.6 to Moodle 2.9 if the Moodle Mobile
additional features plugin is installed.

Requirements
If the playing of SCORM packages offline is not desired,
the setting 'Protect package downloads' could be enabled.
If the Moodle Mobile additional features plugin is being
used, the settings can be found in:
Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins >
Moodle Mobile additional features.

SCORM packages
● The package should work well if it was designed to work
in small screens in phone or tablets.
● Old SCORM packages designed with old authoring tools
may not work as expected.
● For old packages, we tried to fix some features at run-
time (like links using the target property)

Tips for friendly SCORMs
● Try to reduce the image size and use mobile-compatible
formats e.g. png
● Try to reduce the video size and use mobile-compatible
formats e.g. mp4

● In general, try to keep the SCORM package small in size.
The full package will be downloaded in the user’s device
because it has to be uncompressed (unzipped) and to
make it available offline.
● Device storage sometimes is limited, so avoid large
SCORM packages!

● Avoid using Flash or the FLV format
● Avoid using images, files or media on remote sites
because they won’t be available offline.

● Avoid using pop-ups
● Avoid using links with the target property (_top, _blank,
_self…)
● Avoid using nested iframes, framesets

● Avoid using advanced HTML5 features, as they may not
be supported by old devices such as iPhone 4 or Android
< 4.4
● Avoid having a left navigation menu as part of the
SCORM package, as this reduces the space available for
the package content.
