Asterisk as a Tool to Aid in Learning to Program

Programming is a key subject in many engineering programs. Students often perceive it as difficult skill to master. There extensive literature on helping students learn and improve program, most of which focuses K-12 education. However, due the current demand for workers with programming skills, more research must be conducted techniques learning at higher education level. In this work, an analysis evaluation usefulness Asterisk Private Branch Exchange (PBX) educational tool skills presented. The study worked undergraduate telecommunications engineering, little work experience programming, during completion their final year project. Results suggest that using has positive impact students’ perception knowledge well increment interest comfort regarding programming.
