This paper looked at the possibility of using mobile phones in a Bring Your Own
Device (BYOD) policy, which are widely in use by students in various institutions of
higher learning as an aid to increased access to education. Since mobile phones will be used
there would be a need to deploy a Virtual Learning Environment to create the virtual
environment that could then be accessed via mobile phone. The open source VLE Moodle
was chosen for this paper seeing that it is the VLE of choice at the Polytechnic where this
study is being carried out.
