This paper describes a system which allows platform independent access to quizzes of the popular learning platform Moodle. The main focus is on the software architecture which is implemented on the base of platform independent technology like Web Services, HTML5 and JavaScript. Another aspect is the user interface which was developed with the goal to run on a broad range of mobile devices from small mobile phones up to large tablets.
In recent years, the number of mobile devices that are available for learning scenarios has increased a lot. Different learning settings are usually supported by mobile devices. On the one hand we find mobile devices in informal learning settings, and on the other hand in formal learning settings like a usual lecture. This paper motivates the question whether the usage of mobile devices in a usual lecture is something that is wanted by the students. A first case study is provided with an platform independent prototype that gives an initial indication for preferred usage.
