Abstract

This chapter describes some methodological and technological aspects of using automated programming assignment for exploiting the Priscilla platform in the e-learning process for Python and other training in programming languages. The authors, participants of the FITPED project (www.fitped.eu) and designers of the more than 300 microcourses for students of the IT specialisation in several programming languages reflected upon their practical experience and described and analysed some learning strategies and methods using, in particular, the Priscilla platform.
