Resumo

This paper presents a new mobile application designed for use as a self-assessment tool. Learners are able to perform computerised tests using their mobile phones wherever and whenever they want. The tool also includes a Web interface. Impact on the learners' performance is measured using quantitative tools. Three experimental groups of learners were selected, aged 14-15, 17-18 and 20-21, in order to measure the impact on their academic achievement.
