• Resumen

  • The main purpose of this work is to describe the case of an online Java Programming course for engineering students to learncomputer programming and to practice other non-technical abilities: online training, self-assessment, teamwork and use of foreignlanguages. It is important that students develop confidence and competence in these skills, which will be required later in theirprofessional tasks and/or in other engineering courses (life-long learning). Furthermore, this paper presents the pedagogicalmethodology, the results drawn from this experience and an objective performance comparison with another conventional (face-to-face) Java course.
