  abstract = {We present the design and implementation of a framework for pedagogically
	controlled modelling of learning games to be played on the mobile
	phone. The game concepts are grounded in pedagogical theory and adjusted
	to the technical capabilities of current standard mobile phones.
	The mobile phone is used for playing the games. Authoring and administration
	of the games takes place on a dedicated web server, as well as monitoring
	the progress of individual learner’s and learning groups, and the
	exchange between the learners.
	
	We introduce two game models: the quiz 'Fastest First!' and the simulation
	game 'Crisis!'. The game models form the basis for templates which
	can be filled with concrete content by the game author via an authoring
	page on a web server. Based on the authored game templates, the game
	instances for playing on the mobile phone are automatically generated
	by the system, and can then be uploaded to the mobile phones by the
	players/learners.
	
	With the presented game concepts we intend to combine learning and
	game playing so that learning becomes fun. An important aspect of
	the proposed learning games is stimulating learning through activity.
	The specific learning goals addressed are: remembering, understanding,
	applying, judgement and analysing. The simulation game, in particular,
	targets contextualization of the learning game along the lines of
	real crisis situations, and models the consequences the user activities
	have in the game for the user him-/herself and for others.
	
	In the paper, we describe the game models 'Fastest First!' and 'Crisis!',
	and briefly introduce the distributed development and realization
	of the games on the web server and on the mobile client, and then
	summarize results from user studies.},
