Abstract

Mobile devices are heavily popular among the current generation of students, who often express a desire to do fun activities, such as playing or consuming interactive content. According to studies, educational systems using gaming elements present an effective way to enhance the learning experience of students. This paper examines and analyzes the architecture of an online mobile educational game application for students, backed up by distributed web systems and intelligent educational systems. The properties offered by distributed web systems can be combined with intelligent educational systems to create a robust learning environment. This application combines gaming elements with educational content, providing interactive and personalized learning. The distributed architecture enables scalability and optimal application performance. Innovative approaches like this help create a more adaptable and attractive learning environment by encouraging regular and interactive learning.
