The article deals with the training students in the field of programming on the basis of the developed electronic learning resource “Programming” (ELR). One of the priority goals of the development of a modern education system is the continuous improvement of the process of training students, involving the introduction of new information technologies into the educational process. The use of information technologies opens up additional opportunities for improving the quality and efficiency of the educational process, as well as for expanding the scope of its application. In this regard, it is relevant to develop modern concepts for constructing and using computer learning tools, in particular, electronic learning resources that are designed to help the teacher and students in the educational process. The article discusses the main problems of the organization of training students in the discipline "Programming", which is one of the most difficult to teach and describes how to solve these problems using the developed electronic learning resource. ELR allows students to watch video lessons on learning a particular programming language, laboratory classes, additional material (advanced laboratory research), as well as additional software and recommended literature. In addition, the article shows the results of the experiment which prove the positive impact of the introduction of the ELR based on screen casting technology on the quality of training students in the field of programming.
