For the implementation of distance and blended learning in mobile learning the adaptation of e-learning courses to the mobile format is required. To do this, itis important to pay attention to the factors that cause compliance with the requirements for pedagogical design of e-courses on mobile devices, namely: the small screen size, the lack of mouse, the need for constant support and the presence of distractions. Originality: Considering the predominant use of the Moodle platform by higher education institutions in Ukraine and the fact that much work has been done by teachers to create distance learning courses in this system, it is advisable to consider the possibility of working with Moodle on mobile and portable devices. In particular, one of the main conditions that contributes to the multiplatform nature of ecourses is the use of the site design theme for the distance learning, which is adapted for different types of devices. Practical value: The e-courses in the mobile format in the browser and in the mobile application are different. The first one is very similar in appearance to a personal computer browser view. This option will be convenient for those students who are accustomed to designing a site on a personal computer and find it difficult to switch to another interface. However, the interface of the mobile application is more convenient to use in the format of mobile learning, because it takes into account all the requirements for an e-course in the mobile format (convenient and clear navigation, simple and usable design, clear division into information blocks, etc.). Conclusions: The Moodle mobile application allows users to adapt e-learning courses to the mobile format in the easiest way: by taking into account the requirements for pedagogical design of mobile learning applications, the teacher only has to place and compose learning materials conforming the requirements to font, text, graphics and video structuring.
