Abstract : A crucial element in any learning experience design is its assessment. The design is only perceived when its assessment turns successful. The more accurate the assessment is, the clearer the evaluation of the success of the design. However, most assessment processes innately sometimes render fear and/or hesitation at the student side. When this happens, it jeopardizes the assessment and could mislead any corrective measures that may be needed to improve the initial design. In this paper, we propose a new user-friendly computer aided mobile formative assessment tool that both enlightens the students to improve the mental image they have during the assessment process itself through a probing mechanism and motivates the students to audaciously rethink the answer if needed. This mobile tool is composed of a course questions bank, interactive Quiz system with automated self assessment technique that offers instant feedback and a communication system. It is applied in an Engineering design college level course that is delivered in Active Learning setting. J2ME is used to develop this mobile tool and it is targeting mobile wireless sets that are common among the students nowadays. It can also be used in-class or online. A study was conducted for two semesters, using qualitative and quantitative methodologies for data collection and interpretation to measure the effect of this tool on both students' attitudes and performance. Two control groups eighty students strong each, were selected each semester-one is using this tool and the other isn't-to the experiment. The study showed clear positive effects of this tool on both attitudes and performance in favor of the first group.
