Summary

The difficulty of creating new content and, later, adapting or updating these contents to new scenarios is, in many cases, the main stumbling block for the adoption of e-learning technologies. Educational video games (framed within the so-called "serious gaming") are no exception. We introduce a system to capture and evaluate the interaction of content creators with our authoring tool for e-Adventure. We think that similar principles can be applied to other authoring systems and allows to detect usability problems for facilitating its adoption.
