Juxl: JupyterLab xAPI Logging Interface

The study of interaction data and learning experiences in education has the potential to allow the analysis of why students pass or fail a course or where a course can be improved. In the special case of programming courses for beginners, analyzing the behaviour of students while coding, is essential but not always possible. To avoid the need to install and setup a programming environment by the students, a web-based environment like the open source JupyterLab can be used. This paper presents Juxl, an extension of this online programming environment, allowing a modular, performant and secure way of logging user interactions and learning experiences. The logs are generated as xAPI statements and stored in a Learning Record Store to be further analyzed.
