This document discusses deploying and debugging educational games using e-learning standards. It explains how using standards improves reusability and interoperability. The eAdventure platform helps educators create games, add metadata for learning object standards, and debug communication with learning management systems. Educators can test games' standard compliance without a real LMS using eAdventure's offline debugging mode.

Learning Analytics with Experience API (previos TIN CAN API)
Presentation done at the Keynote ELSE 2013 conference (Bucharest, Romania)
I was invited to present a master class on elearning implmentation at the 2005 eLNet Conference. I covered Westpac\'s launch of their eAcademy system and the lessons learnt.
This slideshow lists loads of ideas of how learners can benefit from using technology to enhance learning.
It shows where and how learners can learn.
It also helps teachers providing various tips of how they can use technology for teaching.
Show this slideshow to your students - they will thank you for showing them the multiple possibilities of creating learning opportunities.
Our best effort would be to tackle our own life situation in a logical way so that it could bring the highest fulfilment in our life: so each of us should have a good idea of our coping skill and the way of managing our own crisis.

Modularity in the Cloud- a Case Study - Marcel Offermans and Paul Bakkermfrancis
OSGi DevCon 2013
Running in the cloud introduces many new challenges. How to deal with hot updates and auto-scaling for example? Modularity helps solving many of these challenges. In this presentation you will see how to create modular OSGi applications with RESTful web services, using MongoDB and cloud services such as BlobStores. You will also learn about deploying modular applications using Apache ACE and how to apply auto-scaling. Although the presentation gives real world examples, the session is highly technical and focussed on how developers could build and deploy applications with these kind of requirements.
Examples will be based on an educational system focussed on personalized learning that is currently being implemented at several Dutch secondary schools. It is highly modular and completely runs in the cloud.
A New Software Architecture for LMS with SCORM SupportNicolas Casel
Casel, N., El Alami, M., Garot, D., Zampunieris, D. (2007). A new software architecture for learning managements systems with SCORM support, IADIS - International Conference on e-Learning, Lisbon, Portugal.
This presentation describes our work in progress about how to include serious games as edX activities. The final idea is to simplify the inclusion of serious games as exercises in edX MOOCs. We are considering how to automatize the inclusion of eAdventure games into edX.
New Generation of eLearning Technologies Explained, Compared and AppliedMeridianKS
It has been a long time since a new version of SCORM or AICC has been released. The reason for this is simple - those two standards are no longer under active development and have been overcome by events. The new specifications are xAPI (formerly known as TinCan) and CMI-5, based entirely on WebServices and replacing the aging AICC 4.0 standard.
These new technologies are being enthusiastically embraced by all market segments. But, as with any new technology, there is plenty of confusion, growing pains and misconceptions. In this presentation, Chris Sawwa, director of eLearning at Meridian Knowledge Solutions,explains what works and what doesn’t and how things will change.
He outlines the new standards and how they compare with SCORM, the dominant eLearning content interoperability standard for close to a decade. He explains what the new specs do, how to decide which one to use, and how to proceed from there.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Games are effective tools for teaching-learning
New trends in the serious games research trying to take more
advantage of their potential:
New game mechanics
Learning analytics with games
Apply e-Learning standards in games
….

3. Introduction
Why use games following e-Learning standards?
(well know) Improved reusability and interoperability
to protect the investment made in high
cost educational contents
Exploit the game’s educative features by an active
communication between games and LMS
Student’s tracking
Assessment
Adaptation
Change lesson flow
……

4. Learning Object paradigm
The Learning Object paradigm opened a broad range of
opportunities
Distribution
Sharing
Reuse and interoperability
Different standards deal with different interrelated aspects of
LO model:
Packaging and delivery

6. Problems
So… let’s do it!!
It’s technical complex process…
Create XML documents to add metadata and content
structure
Add specific XSD and DTD files
Package together
Execute games in web environments
There are not a wide accepted standard that cover all the
features
5/15
7. Problems
… and even more when the content will
send/receive data
Follow the selected communication channel
Implement the API in the game
Know the standard data model
Study how the sent data can modify the lesson flow
Besides, there are not a standard that deals with the game
integration in particular
So teachers and educators with limited technical background can
not participate….
…so tools that ease the process are needed
allowing to introduce experts in that matter

9. Standards supported in eAdventure
Games as LO in eAdventure:
IMS CP
SCORM v1.2 and 2004
AGREGA (Spanish repository)
LAMS (IMS-CP with special communication and data model files)
The educator only has to…
Fill the meta data in a specific editor (only a reduced
version of those fields related with games)
For games with active communication:
SCORM: select the part of the data model
LAMS: write it
Select the standard in the exportation wizard…
… and eAdventure will prepare all the needed files, fill the
XML, and prepare the engine to communicate with the LMS
8/15
10. Debbuging games with <e-Adventure>
Debug interface:
Debug the game behaviour
Test the communication protocol with LMS
Two modes:
Online and offline
Give full control over communication protocol
Sniff and log all events
Attribute-value pairs exchanged and the function used
Manual API calls
Show assessment report in a pop-up
9/15
11. Online mode
Check if the game properly communicates with a back-end
LMS
Reduce the creation-test cycle
Explore how the standard actually works
Reduce the learning curve
Explore how the game outputs impact the sequence flow
10/15
12. Offline mode
Test the games with communication without needing to
deploy the game in a real LMS
Even shorten more the creation-test cycle…
API provider
Developed in Javascript
Same functionality as provided by SCORM 1.2 and 2004

13. Case study
Course to teach basic concepts of Windows 7
Created in Moodle 1.9.5
Using eAdventure game packaged as SCORM 2004
The game assess the player behavior
Short multiple-choice exam (5 right answer to be passed)
These data is sent to LMS
SCORM interaction for each answer
eAdventure assessment report
Also, general information is send
Completion status
Success status

14. Case Study
The course was used to train professionals in e-Learning
How SCORM actually works
How SCORM module in Moodle 1.9.5
How the information that the game produces can be retrieved
from the LMS
What are the more appropriate fields in the SCORM data model
for tracking students' interaction in games

15. Conclusions
New GBL research lines
Connect games and LMS and make the most of the data
exchanged
e-Learning standards in games
Not obvious
Work in progress… (ADL, Rusticci TinCan, etc…)
How eAdventure tries to face it
Reduce the technical barriers
Ease the standard understanding (high level UI)
Provide tools for debugging the communication
Analyze and understand game packages developed by other authors
The debugger will be available soon in the next eAdventure
release!!
