AB A key factor in online learning is an instructionaldesign that ensures that students maintain an adequate andconstant learning pace throughout the course. This is especiallyrelevant when a fundamentally practical and progressivelearning approach is required, such as in introductoryprogramming courses. This article describes an interventionconducted in a first-year subject of the Computer Engineeringdegree called "Programming Fundamentals". This subject posesmany challenges related to the introduction of abstract concepts,the completion of programming exercises in a specific language,and the monitoring of the pace of proposed learning activities sothat students can achieve adequate learning. Based on academicresults from several semesters, it was decided to make anintervention that modified the planning of learning activities tomaintain motivation and learning pace throughout the semester,while reducing the time between completing the activities andreceiving feedback. An analysis of the results following thechange shows that more students complete the core activities,with a decrease in dropouts from continuous assessment and anincrease in the number of students passing the course. Dataanalysis has been validated using propensity score matching, amethod for evaluating interventions with a quasi-experimentaldesign.
