Navigate Moodle 4 guide

City’s Moodle has been designed responsively to enable you to access and engage with Moodle flexibly on your mobile. You can log into Moodle on a mobile through a browser or the app.

• You can login to moodle4.city.ac.uk from your mobile web browser to browse the content of your modules, to interact with online activities and to review your grades and feedback.
• Moodle Mobile is the official mobile app for Moodle. This enables you to browse the content of your modules, even when offline. The Moodle Mobile app is great for browsing and reviewing content.

The app can be useful for browsing and reviewing content and notifications. Use the browser version of Moodle to interact with activities, for longer interactions with Moodle, and for summative activities.

There are some limitations when using the Moodle mobile app.

• There is no notification that certain types of feedback are available on your assignment, so you might miss your feedback if accessing Moodle Grades via the App.
• City uses a lot of different assessment types and you cannot submit assessments via the Mobile App. You will be prompted to login to the browser version of Moodle.
• Video resources from City's MediaSpace do not display on the mobile app, so you might miss important multimedia content.
• There is no Moodle dashboard available via the App so you will not be able to access Lecture Capture recordings, Timetable or your Reading List.

Accessing via Mobile browser, you will land on the Dashboard page displaying a Timeline and modules you are enrolled on. Select a link to a module to open it.

You can open the Block drawer to access the Calendar by using the Open block drawer button on the right of the screen.
