Model for Recording Learning Experience Data from Remote Laboratories Using xAPI

This work proposes a model for the recording of learning experiences in experimental environments supported by remote laboratories, based on the xAPI specification. Using the Experience API (xAPI), a learning experience registered in a statement, in which an 'actor performs an action on an object'. Initially, a general and specific vocabulary was defined to record activities in remote laboratories. Then, a prototype was developed using the remote labor management system RELLE, integrating a set of laboratories to xAPI, using the previously defined vocabulary. The data generated by the use of the laboratories is saved in an open source application that validates and saves each generated statement. The model described in this work can be applied in different platforms of remote laboratories, and the generated data used for different purposes, be they pedagogical, administrative or technical.
