Leveraging the SoloLearn application for enhanced python programming skills

Abstract

This study aims at how effectively polytechnic students can learn Python programming with the help of the SoloLearn platform. A smartphone application called SoloLearn provides a variety of coding courses, including Python. It offers quick courses, interactive tests, real-time code execution, and a community-driven learning methodology. Using questionnaires, the effect of SoloLearn on interest, comprehension, and Python competency has been evaluated among polytechnic students. Our findings reveal that SoloLearn enhances student engagement due to its gamified elements like points, badges, and peer challenges also create a more engaging learning environment. The instant feedback and hands-on coding exercises improve students' understanding and retention of Python concepts. SoloLearn proves to be an effective supplementary tool for polytechnic students learning Python. It provides an approachable and engaging educational experience. Its first mobile design appeals particularly to students who require convenience and flexibility.
