      This study reports on Part 2 of a co-evaluation process of a mobile education tool (MET) prototype artifact known as CBEMET, at the College of Business Education (CBE) in Tanzania. A preliminary co-evaluation of CBEMET was done only by teachers and students of one campus. In this study, the design science research (DSR) framework combined with the four-cycle model of Information System (IS) DSR is employed. The participants included 40 teachers, 542 students and 8 managerial staff from the four campuses of the CBE alongside 1 official from the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) and 2 officials from the National Council of Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Focus group discussions were held and questionnaires were administered. Thematic analysis is used for the qualitative data analysis, whereas for the quantitative data analysis reports on means, standard deviation, and correlations. The findings reveal that CBEMET was able to assist with practical problems for both teachers and students and that the participants found the tool useful for innovative teaching and learning. CBEMET was also found to be motivating to use and improved the learning, especially in supporting self-regulated learning (SRL). This work contributes towards empirical applications of the four-cycle DSR.
