Abstract
En la actualidad, el uso de juegos digitales como herramientas educativas se está volviendo cada vez más popular, por lo tanto surge la necesidad de desarrollar herramientas para que los profesores puedan saber si sus alumnos aprenden o mejoran usándolos, y para que los desarrolladores de juegos educativos sepan si sus juegos son efectivos en esta tarea. JaXpi nace como una de las respuestas a estas necesidades, utilizando el estándar xAPI como vehículo para construir las actividades de los alumnos en estos juegos educativos en web desarrollados con JavaScript, permitiendo la supervisión del alumnado y su análisis.
JaXpi es un proyecto que presenta un ecosistema de herramientas creadas para el envío, recogida y análisis de datos provenientes de juegos educativos en web. El objetivo es facilitar la integración de analíticas en cualquier juego y proporcionar al cuerpo docente la información sobre el aprendizaje y progreso de los estudiantes al usar juegos educativos.
El ecosistema JaXpi consiste en una librería con el estándar xAPI para la representación de los datos de interacción, que envía estos a un servidor LRS donde se recogen y guardan las trazas recibidas por dicha librería, y finalmente una plataforma de análisis de datos que permite mostrar información relevante mediante gráficos.
Currently, the use of digital games as educational tools is becoming increasingly popular, this creates the need to develop tools for teachers that show if their students are learning and improving upon their use, and for serious game developers to know if their games are effective for this purpose. JaXpi emerges as one of the responses to these needs, using the xAPI standard as a vehicle to track students’ activities in these web-based serious games developed with JavaScript, enabling both student supervision and analysis. JaXpi is a project that presents an ecosystem of tools created for the sending and collection of data from educational web games and its subsequent analysis. The goal is to provide an application that is easy to integrate into any game and simple for educators to use, adaptable to their specific needs. The JaXpi ecosystem consists of a library using the xAPI standard for representing interaction data, which sends this data to a LRS server where the received traces are collected and stored, and finally, a visual data analysis platform that displays relevant information through charts.
