Mobile learning is gaining popularity nowadays in both formal and informal learning environments.  To make mobile learning engaging, integrating effective mobile learning assessments is an essential step in the process.

Here in this blog, I will be sharing few  tips for developing the assessments for M-learning :

1. Avoid Timed Assessments

Timed assessment is usually not effective in mobile learning environments, as learners are happy with the idea that they can participate in the mobile learning course whenever it is most convenient for them and that they can learn at their own pace, without feeling pressured to finish an assessment in a specified time allotment.

Also, if a timer is included for assessments, include an advanced notice/slide stating that the next screen contains a quiz or test so that the learners can decide themselves if they need to pause the module and take the assessment later when they are in a quiet environment.

2. Use Google Applications

Google applications offer many tools that are free to use and can give the opportunity to create effective mobile learning assessments within no time.Google Forms to create an assessment that contains a variety of different question types and then send the link to the online page to all of your learners. This gives them the ability to access the assessment on any mobile device or computer that is connected to the Internet.This allows the flexibility to the learner to access the test from mobile or from the desktop.

3. Create a Group

Developing group collaboration assessments for mobile devices offers a wide range of advantages. It allows the learners to benefit from the experience and skills of their peers, even they can exchange feedback and ideas remotely. It is one of the engaging and exciting ways to gauge the understanding of a subject matter.

4. Conclude each unit with assessment

By providing learners with an assessment at the end of each unit we can access how much the learner has understood the content and helps to close the knowledge gaps at the earliest. Sometimes the learner is most likely to study and complete each section separately as per the availability of time. It’s important to ensure that they will receive an effective and complete mobile learning experience every time which means you will have to offer them a way to assess what they have learned via quiz or test.

5. Integrate Interactive Assessments

Mobile learning assessments don’t have to stick to any particular format. In fact, you can create interactive assessments, such as scenarios or simulations, which can be accessed on a 24/7 basis by your learners along with the facility to adjust the audio as per the requirement.Ensure the visual design is clutter-free and as simple and straightforward as possible, keeping in mind that the leaners will be accessing the assessment on a broad range of devices with smaller screens.

By using these mobile learning assessment tips you can create a memorable and engaging mobile learning courses.
