school students to learn this knowledge. Hence, Nounimals is a mobile

application that uses game-based learning technology has been

developed by using a Multimedia Mobile Content Development

methodology. The app targets primary school students, offering 2D

visualizations, gamified quizzes, and real-time feedback to make

learning collective nouns more engaging. The System Usability Scale

(SUS) was used to evaluate user acceptance, resulting in a positive

usability score of 71.5, which is above the average benchmark of 68 and

indicates good usability and user satisfaction. Thus, Nounimals are

suitable to be implemented in learning collective nouns of animals is

expected.
