The MOMO (Mobile Moodle) project is an Add-On to the popular Moodle Learning Management System. It brings the ability to implement mobile learning scenarios with Moodle as a backend. Mobile users install the MOMO client, a JAVA based application, on their mobile phones (or any other JAVA and Internet capable device). Through this client they can access courses wherever they are, which allows completely new scenarios. Administrators install the necessary MOMO extension on their Moodle server which makes the compatible contents available for mobile usage. They can configure and maintain the system through the integrated administration interface all within Moodle. Teachers can design courses with either several mobile elements or complete mobile learning scenarios using the tools and methodologies they know from within Moodle.
