Abstract
Currently, almost all Spanish Universities offer their students access to a virtual campus consisting essentially of one or more e-learning platforms, which contain the educational material of most of the subjects taught at the university. Although the aim of these e-learning platforms is the learning in virtual format, mainly they are used by the teachers to supplement the lectures (b-learning). Due to the nature and design of such platforms and learning materials, access to the contents is restricted to the use of personal computers (desktops or laptops with screens large enough). This paper describes the actions in terms of necessaries modification of software to allow access to the contents stored in the virtual campus through various types of mobile devices.
