Abstract
This study analyzes various publications of scientists on the training of future IT
specialists and the features of training programming using online simulators. The authors of the
article made a comparative description of different online platforms for teaching programming
according to certain criteria, selected interesting tasks from the online platform hackerrank.com,
which have already been used to teach students. Online programming simulators have significant
potential in organizing an effective distance learning system in Ukrainian universities. It is
important to use online simulators in the learning process as an additional tool for the formation
of professional competencies, which provides more intensive involvement of students in the
process of writing code and practical (situational) application of existing knowledge.
Gamification of the process of training future IT specialists helps to increase cognitive activity,
and hence – the quality of the educational process and distance learning in particular. The authors
recommend the use of online programming simulators as an additional tool for teaching
computer science disciplines, taking into account their functionality, as well as the level of
preparation of students and the expected learning outcomes.
