To open a CloudLabs simulator having an active LMS-LTI subscription and accessing from an Android device, it is important to consider the following points, because the opening process differs slightly to devices with operating systems such as Windows or macOS.
1. You must log in with your credentials to the institution's LMS and locate the course where the CloudLabs resource is integrated.
2. Once the CloudLabs resource is located, proceed to open it by clicking on the link with the name of the simulator or resource.
3. A new window will open with information to download the simulator. Click on the “Download” button.
4. At this point a file with .apk extension will be downloaded. This file is the one that will allow us to run the simulator once downloaded. You should proceed to install the application in a typical way, taking into account that if the device does not have the “Unknown sources” option enabled, you can be guided by this explanation of how to enable this option: Allow unknown sources.
5. Once the application containing the simulation is installed, you can NOT open this .apk. This is because you will get a message in a window that says “It was not possible to verify your license number. Make sure you are opening this application from the CloudLabs main menu”.
6. You can go back to the website where you downloaded the simulator, in this case the CloudLabs platform in your browser, and press again the button that says “Download”.
7. At this point you should be able to access the simulator without any inconvenience.
8. Make sure that the downloaded application that executes the simulator has the permission to read and write files, since this will allow that at the moment of generating the lab report in .pdf extension, there is no problem to save this file.
