Abstract

Over the last decade the mobile revolution has done the most fundamental changes to education, and as the fact that learning games are gradually having an increasing impact in Technology Enhanced Learning, we have suggested to combine the both approaches learning game “LG” and mobile learning called: “Mobile Game Based Learning” (MGBL). However there is a huge lack of authoring tool that facilitates the generation of an adaptive LG to multiple mobile devices, at the time when the features of mobile devices are increasingly evolved and the development cost are so expensive. To this end in this paper we present an extension of the chosen LG authoring tool also known as eAdventure, which aims to support an automatic adaptation of MGBL to multiple mobile devices platforms.
