Abstract
Easy JavaScript Simulations (EjsS) is a popular and powerful authoring toolkit for the creation of open source HTML5 compliant JavaScript simulations. This paper focuses on developing a Learning Analytics extension in Moodle for EjsS, capable of monitoring interactions with the simulation (e.g. mouse clicks, states of buttons and sliders, variable assignments). This extension was piloted with educational physics simulations. Data on learners can be visualised in real-time on the instructor dashboard, allowing instructors to better understand the learning process and modify classroom instruction accordingly.
