Abstract

The challenge of teaching programming languages and paradigms is a very complex task that requires of adequate strategies and educational tools. This chapter presents a game-based educational tool, Trivioodle, developed and used to support the teaching and learning of programming languages and paradigms. Trivioodle is integrated into the learning management system Moodle that is used as educational eLearning platform by the University of Valladolid. The chapter describes the mechanics in playing Trivioodle. The chapter also describes the result of a qualitative analysis of its use in two engineering courses related to programming offered to students in two different study programs at the University of Valladolid.
