Moodle
Overview
The Moodle product integration allows students, lecturers, and other users to view their Moodle information, including course content and grades, on the campusM app.
Due to Moodle authentication flow, Moodle product integration is currently supported only for native application and not for the web application. However, it is possible to configure a link to your institution's Moodle Website when using the web application. For more information, see Moodle Web in the Configuration section.
User Experience
The following section describes information relating to the user experience for the Moodle product integration.

Authentications
See the user Workflow Diagram for a description of the authentications process.
Offline Support
Users can view cached data from previous sessions.
Moodle Live Tile
The Moodle produce integration offers two types of tiles that display on the homepage: live and static. The live tile displays active information relating to your courses while the static tile has fixed information. For information on configuring the Moodle live tile, see Live Tile in the Configuration section.
The recommended size of the live tile is 2X3.
The Moodle Live Tile is not available for the web version.
It is possible to use the live tile either with full product integration (OTB behavior) or with a linkout to an external website, app, or any other tile. For more information, see Configuring Live Tile Linking.
