Abstract

New educational trends demand learning processes that fulfill the requirements and interests of students. In this sense, developing new activities focused on specific themes for the open source e-learning platform Moodle, provides the added value of offering their integrated use in the learning environment. Basing on this assumption, Moodle applications for checking JavaScript and PHP codes have been developed, allowing improving the learning process in web programming University courses. These applications offer the students information about the committed errors and about the key terms of the programming language. Moreover, they also gather information about the type of errors committed by each student so that the teacher can graphically observe which concepts are more problematic and need to be clarified. The paper also describes the result of a qualitative analysis of its use in several courses offered in study programmes of the University of Valladolid.
