How to Use the QR Code in Your LMS Profile to Activate the Moodle App

Overview

The QR code feature in your LMS profile offers a quick and secure way to activate the Moodle app on your mobile device. Instead of manually entering site details, you can simply scan the QR code to connect to your LMS seamlessly. This improves the user experience by reducing setup time and minimising errors, ensuring a smoother transition to mobile learning.

By using this feature, learners and educators can gain instant access to their courses, notifications, and resources from anywhere. The QR code serves as a secure and convenient link between the LMS and the Moodle app. This functionality is particularly beneficial for institutions looking to enhance engagement and accessibility in online learning environments.

Step Tutorial

Part A – Install Mobile App

1. Open the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS), search for Moodle, and install the official Moodle app.

Part B – Get the QR Code

2. Open a web browser and log in to your LMS account.

3. Click on your profile picture or username in the top-right corner, then select Profile from the dropdown menu.

4. Look for the "Mobile App" section and find the QR code.

NOTE: If the QR code is not visible, check whether your administrator has enabled this feature.

Part C – Register

5. Open the Moodle app on your mobile device.

6. Tap "Scan QR Code" on the login screen.

7. Allow camera access if prompted.

8. Scan the QR code displayed in your LMS profile—the one accessed in Step B.

Part D – Login

9. After scanning, the app will automatically detect your site's URL. Enter your username and password, then tap "Log in" to access your courses.

IMPORTANT: The Moodle App does not support Online Learning Assessment (OLA) forms. If the courses use OLA forms, accessing them through a browser on your mobile phone is the preferred method.
