Abstract
In a mobile learning environment, students can learn via mobile devices without being limited by time and space. Therefore, it is vital to develop tools to assist students to learn and assess their knowledge in such environments. This paper presents a tool/application for formative self-assessment. The tool supports the selection of questions based on user-defined criteria concerning (1) the difficulty level; (2) the associated concepts; and (3) the purposes of the test taker. The main purpose of the presented tool is to better support the learning aims of the participants and to increase their engagement in the learning process. The focus of this study is to evaluate the tool using quizzes in Microeconomics to realize its potential in this specific domain. Teachers and students were involved in the experiments conducted. The experiments demonstrated that the presented tool is usable; it motivates the students and improves their understanding.

Summary
In the 21st century, educational tools are utilized in various domains as a prime source of teaching or supplementary to the main teaching process. ICTs have been integrated into many educational activities with certain advantages (Livingstone, 2012) These advantages range from access from anywhere/anytime to enhanced multimedia representations to the adaptation of the teaching materials and the process to the needs of the individual (i.e., personalization of content delivery) (Christudas et al, 2018). Muslimin et al (2017) designed and developed a mobile educational application (called MobiEko Apps) for learning Microeconomics concepts which constitute part of an education curriculum They evaluated their tool regarding its learning effectiveness and acceptance in relation to the presentation, visual, navigation, and accessibility of mobile app design. We present a usability assessment of the mobile learning tool based on Microeconomics with ten teachers and eighty-three high-school students in a real environment. The results obtained from the usability assessment show that the presented tool significantly improves the motivation and participation of students in the learning process
