As technology continues to advance in the realm of education, a plethora of digital applications are now accessible to educators. Among these, educational mobile apps and digital magazines stand out as prime examples of technologies that have the potential to enhance the learning journey for students. With this background, Mobile application was developed on foldscope and it was tested for its effectiveness in terms of knowledge gain by the agricultural graduates. The present experimental study was conducted in College of Agriculture, Raipur. Totally 120 agricultural graduates was selected for the study randomly. Information provided in the developed foldscope mobile application was selected as learning module for the study. Respondents will undergo pre exposure and post exposure knowledge test about the selected learning module.
