In this article we present Hopscotch 2.0, a theoretical framework and a Webtool developed with the aim of helping novice researchers in the fields of education and social sciences, to generate solid and well-informed research designs. The present work shows the evaluation process of Rayuela 1.0, the obtained formal results, and the changes made to the initial version of Hopscotch that have helped de development of an enhanced 2.O version. Hopscotch is a tool available to teachers interested in the proposal of innovations based on the systematic and rigorous analysis of their practices. The 2.0 offers a web tool for the interactive generation of qualitative, quantitative and mixed method, rigorous and well-informed research designs that allow educators to analyze, criticize and improve their practice. The new improved version of Rayuela is bilingual and offers spaces for the sharing and discussion of the research designs created by its users.
