An Automated Environment for Teaching Programming Logic on Distance Learning IT Courses

Disciplines devoted to teaching programming are present in all courses in the area of information technology and traditionally they are part of the basic structure of these courses. For this reason the discipline of programming logic has been the gateway for information technology students. These disciplines have presented a high rate of students failures because it requires the students to have a high level of abstraction associated with systematized reasoning. The main objective of this article is to present an interactive environment that is seamlessly inserted in a e-course didactic material in order to expand the offer of effective learning automated mediators. This feature turns the teaching material into an interactive tool, which is more attractive to students and likely to help them in succeeding in these programming courses.
