    This paper describes TrivialCV, a toolkit created to facilitate the management of team-based competitive activities within the classroom. TrivialCV was designed as an instructor-oriented tool, in order to foster the organization of these types of innovative activities by facilitating the instructor's task. This goal is achieved by providing easy-to-use graphical tools and a kit of integration services that allow TrivialCV to be integrated with popular e-learning tools (e.g., Moodle-based environments). Integration is achieved by using an extensible plugin that can be generalized to support different e-Learning tools and even different external activities. The article describes the general architecture designed to integrate TrivialCV with different e-learning tools, and the specific implementation developed to integrate it with the Virtual Campus at the Complutense University (based in Moodle v1.9).

La integración se logra mediante el uso de un complemento extensible que se puede generalizar para admitir diferentes herramientas de e-Learning e incluso diferentes actividades externas.
