Easy JavaScript Simulation (EJSS) as SLS type 2 app | Dec 5, 2022 |
4 Monitoring of EjsS Simulations in SLS
Current Situation
Moodle 4.0 and SLS integrated via LTI 1.3 (partial in SLS) Type 2 Apps
General design
Integration Moodle – SLS
Student assignment and monitoring
Data exchange
Step 1. Define an assessment file
As a course creator in Moodle, define the file assessment.json with the activity questions. This file is used by Moodle to check the student interactions and automatically assess the student experience.
The general format of this file is:
[
{ "name": "short name of the question",
"description": "description of the question",
"marks": [ { "value": "mark value",
"state": [ … ], // properties and their values
"history": { … } // element with info
}, … ],
"events": { "start": { … }, // starting event of the question
"end" : { … }, // ending event of the question
}
}, …
]

- https://github.com/lookang/codesforejss/blob/master/assessment.json with capability for checking data value
- https://github.com/lookang/codesforejss/blob/master/assessment.pencil.json with capability of checking for equal in value
A step-by-step tutorial https://weelookang.blogspot.com/2022/11/how-to-prepare-your-easy-javascript.html is included here to help with the creation of the assessment.json file and the EJSS codes to be added.
An example is the following one:
// Example assessment json file
{
tasks": [
{ "name": "Q1",
"description": "Question 1",
"marks" : [
{ "value": "1",
"state": [
{"element": "input1", "property": "Value", "data": "9" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
},
{ "value": "2",
"state": [
{"element": "input2", "property": "Value", "data": "3" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
},
{ "value": "3",
"state": [
{"element": "input3", "property": "Value", "data": "3" },
{"element": "input4", "property": "Value", "data": "9" },
{"element": "input5", "property": "Value", "data": "3" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
}
],
"events": {
"start": {"element": "label", "property": "Value", "data": "Q1" },
"end" : {"element": "checkbutton", "action": "OnClick"}
}
},
{ "name": "Q2",
"description": "Question 2",
"marks" : [
{ "value": "1",
"state": [
{"element": "input1", "property": "Value", "data": "2" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
},
{ "value": "2",
"state": [
{"element": "input2", "property": "Value", "data": "1" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
},
{ "value": "3",
"state": [
{"element": "input3", "property": "Value", "data": "1" },
{"element": "input4", "property": "Value", "data": "3" },
{"element": "input5", "property": "Value", "data": "4" }
],
"history": {"element": "log1", "property": "Value" }
}
],
"events": {
"start": {"element": "label", "property": "Value", "data": "Q1" },
"end" : {"element": "checkbutton", "action": "OnClick"}
}
}
]
}
And upload this file with the filename “assessment.json” in the EjsS simulation in Moodle.
Step 2. Access monitoring from SLS
As a SLS teacher access the activity with the EjsS Simulation and then click the button "See Analytics".
The assignment monitoring will report students status considering the file assessment.json.
