Introduction

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is increasingly influencing university education, mainly in overcoming disadvantages of direct instruction teaching approaches, and encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking in student-centered, interactive learning environments. Programming is a field of studies that is accompanied with many difficulties, and TEL tools and services can improve significantly the teaching and learning of programming.

In this entry, the focus is on utilizing TEL in programming courses and more specifically on object-oriented programming (OOP) courses in higher education. The following aspects of TEL tools and services:

  • Programming environments and tools

  • Automated assessment tools

  • Learning management systems (LMS) and tutoring systems

are examined taking into account the relevant literature and the...
