Abstract:
At a time when all educational structures operate remotely, now that mobile phones have card memories that accept programs and content, entire new learning worlds have opened [1]. Today, as never before, the enrichment of knowledge in innovative ways is imperative, as mobile devices offer the possibility of acquainting and practicing various learning objects. Such examples are the learning and practice of formal and informal educational courses. The advantages of using such applications in mobile devices in order for learning practice and evaluation to be assessed have already been demonstrated in previous research.

The purpose of this paper is to present the development of a mobile app for the effectiveness in the preparation of the special course of the French language in Panhellenic examinations. These examinations are the process that Greek students need to go through to get admitted to the Universities.

For someone to be able to learn and practice the foreign language regarding the special course in Panhellenic exams, our proposal is the design and realization of a mobile application.

For the design of this application, we took under consideration the characteristics of the special course and the technological characteristics of the application, and the tools that we have chosen to use. The content of the application involves learning material adapted to the scope of the exam.
