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

Idea
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.
