This paper discusses the conceptual design of Economics mobile app for learning economics terminologies. The app is designed for ubiquitous self-learning based on cognitive theories, which are information processing theory and cognitive theory in multimedia learning.

The app is aimed to aid students to build understanding and knowledge of the economics terminologies, process the information for long term retention and increase their interest in Economics subject to improve economic literacy.
