Abstract

The ever increasing number of people who own mobile devices capable of browsing the internet creates an opportunity to provide today's students with an additional learning resource in the form of a short quiz. Creating web pages or applications for the ever growing number of mobile devices available to the public is a challenge but in a school setting it is important to allow for the largest percent of students to have availability. This project researches Learning Theories to better understand how individuals learn to design quizzes to have a positive impact on a student. Development Methodologies and Mobile Development were researched to plan appropriately before creating the Mobile Learning Application. The paper concludes with the design and development of a user interface for instructors to create quizzes and an interface that students can access via a mobile device or desktop computer and have the quiz display in a reasonable size to read and take the quiz.
