Abstract

The main focus of this chapter will be using mobile assessment (m-assessment) for teaching and learning in formal and informal education. M-assessment has been handy for improving learning realized in traditional and contemporary classrooms such as digital classrooms, informal and formal learning settings, professional development settings, and anywhere that learning happens. M-assessment has increased accessibility anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. Moreover, m-assessment contributed to assessment practice by changing how information is collected and providing various mobile formative and summative assessment tools. Effectiveness of m-assessment for improving learning will be discussed by examining evidences regarding learning achievement, student engagement, and cognitive load. Various challenges of using m-assessment were highlighted. Suggestions for overcoming such challenges and using m-assessment effectively were provided under two headings: (a) smart use and (b) smart design of m-assessment. Future research directions were described.
