ABSTRACT
Good and immediate feedback is one of the key components in learning programming. Therefore a tool enabling quick feedback can be very useful in the teaching process. As most such services already available had feedback possibilities more or less limited, we developed a new web service called Project Tomo. It is completely open and already has more than 4000 programming exercises that can be adapted and re-used in new courses. At the moment the service is used by over 30 educational establishments, most of which are high schools.
The poster briefly describes the options available in the service and presents its use. Opinions of the teachers using this tool in their teaching are given as well.
