Abstract:
This paper deals with a well-known problem, the learning of distributed programming languages, especially when they are included in distance programs. In particular, the course is focused on middleware learning in a master program, in which students that access to it have heterogeneous programming level and skills. Therefore, a real scenario and a real case study are presented, where students must rationalize their effort. An emphasis is placed on those students that offer more weaknesses. Moreover, this paper presents the students evaluation process, and summarizes the results obtained after the course had been developed.
