Abstract :
Meuruno is a simple mobile learning system that enables a teacher to nudge their students to review previously taught materials. Meuruno relies on the very basic SMS technology for its service that makes it especially suited for mobile-connected developing countries like Indonesia. A pilot study of Meuruno, in a real world learning situation, not only produced an increase in students´ understanding of taught materials but also provided an alternative mobile learning experience that is purely based on basic SMS technology.
