Abstract

Mobile-assessment applications provide various conveniences to working professionals who prepare for a certification exam. The purposes of this chapter are highlighting the usefulness of m-assessment apps to learners and informing the field about the needs in this area. The chapter focuses on the m-assessment apps in terms of preparing for project management certification examinations. The authors developed nine criteria based on learning theories and literature on m-assessment. These criteria organized important features of m-apps under three categories: 1) general user experience, 2) learning experience, and 3) practice test-experience. The authors also evaluate the features of m-assessment apps found in the app spaces using the criteria. Results communicate how the examined apps perform against the criteria and emphasize different ways that these features can help learners. The chapter concludes with future directions based on the updated requirements of the project management certification exam and the need for more apps that implement theoretically supported features.
