The difficulty in learning of algorithms and programming disciplines is a reality faced by many students, both in terms of logical reasoning and coding in programming languages. Distance Education is no different, on the contrary, there is an aggravating factor which is the physical distance between teacher and student, which imposes barriers to the solving of doubts and questions. Thus, it is necessary that the student has a strong will, autonomy and curiosity for the subjects, in order to achieve quality learning. Considering this scenario, the onset of information and communication technologies has brought new perspectives for Distance Education in the use of digital tools provides new ways to study and learn. In this context, this study aims to assist the teaching of Logic Programming courses offered on Distance Education platforms, through a technological tool with multimedia, interactive and easy to handle, which is pleasant and can encourage the interest of students, thus contributing to learning. This research is qualitative, it sprung from the need to investigate why the high rates of dropout and retention programming disciplines and analyze descriptively possible solutions to these problems. The prototype tool Escola de Algoritmos was built using the solution Adaptive eLearning Platform – AeLP it is a platform for building activities e-Learning, interactive, highly visual and adaptive. In order to achieve this, the first stage of development involved the analysis tools that aims at teaching and learning programming. The second step involves collecting information through the application of a questionnaire to a computer course the group of students away from Federal Institute of Piauí, to act as base for the development of the proposed tool. With the assessment tool, it could be concluded that it offers means to the learning of theoretical content and proficiency in the creation of algorithms, reducing the difficulties of this content.
