Incorporation of social networking and application of responsive design for moodle
Keywords:
Mobile Devices, Moodle, Responsive Design, Social Networks
Abstract
The objective of the research was to analyze the integration of social networks and templates with responsive design for Moodle. The research approach is exploratory and cross-sectional. The results provide evidence to show that Moodle is a flexible platform to support the incorporation of components developed by third parties, such as the social network Facebook, as well as supporting the incorporation of adaptive design templates to create an environment allowing independent use of the mobile device, download applications, browsers and operating systems.
