5. How it works

Course content written in
Moodle
Exported to package that can
be installed on mobile devices
Activity tracking, quiz results,
video views all submitted to
server – trainers, supervisors
etc can track student progress
Students gain points and
badges based on their usage
and quiz scores (gamification)
