Abstract :
The recent developments in mobile technology are having a tremendous impact on the instructional designing and learning styles in mobile learning and the way collaboration takes place. Not only technology is shaping the content delivery and other collaborative frameworks but imposing limits on what could be achieved. One factor is the maximum number of users collaborating with each other with an acceptable QoS given a particular mobile network infrastructure. There has been considerable work on suggestions of distributed architectures that could be scalable with the number of users. Most of them are web based and on fixed workstations whereby mobility is completely absent. In this paper we are discussing the roadmap to a massive multiplayer game framework that would enable a large number of mobile learners to interact through an exciting large scale game
