The proliferation of ICT within the educational domain is serving to overcome several barriers associated with traditional pedagogies. However, the challenge of balancing educational objectives against technical limitations and harsh financial realities is becoming more relevant than ever. Specifically, one is often faced with insufficient funds for hardware resources, lack of streamlined distribution mechanisms for software, and irreconcilable disparities in the packages offered. In this paper, we present KIKI as a tentative solution to the aforementioned obstacles. KIKI is a prototypical system devised following extensive research on learning paradigms, including collaboration and the use of games within the educational context. It is meant to serve as a platform for deploying educational software through an extensible architecture which provides inherent support for MultiPoint functionality, inter-computer communication, user identification, and progress tracking. Seamlessly integrated, it would bind all stakeholders (developers, administration, teachers, and students) in their respective roles, amplifying the dissemination of knowledge and providing enhanced educational opportunities for all, irrespective of age and financial conditions. The system would also enable an innovative edge, giving unbounded opportunities for the development of applications to best meet the local demands.peer-reviewe
