Abstract: This pilot project for the Confederation of German Junior Enterprises (BDSU e.V.) presents a design for a microlearning environment that is integrated into mobile devices. The project is supported by an evaluation concept, which is modified to meet the needs of this mobile learning project. The case study aims at evaluating the methodological-didactical design in relation to the learning success, the user acceptance and satisfaction with the course. We provide recommendations for implementing the concept on a nationwide level.
