Abstract
PLAGER-VG is an architecture used to design, execute, analyze and adapt educational processes supported by video games, especially those that include collaborative activities and which use collaborative learning techniques. In this paper, we have focused on the monitoring and adaptive processes in order to customize activities both within the game and the learning process to improve the results obtained from using these collaborative video games. To perform these processes we propose a mechanism based on the use of a set of specialized agents included in this architecture to collect relevant information and to process it in order to obtain the necessary adaptation actions.
