Abstract: | We discuss the redesign of an intermediate Computer Programming course taught at the University of Vigo (Spain), aiming to adopt a “learning by doing” approach. The new design promotes question-and-answer (Q&A) websites for programmers as the main source of reference for the students, turning the teacher into a permanent observer who delivers pertinent advice. An early experiment is presented that reveals advantages in terms of understanding and problem-solving capabilities, along with positive perceptions by the students. |
