Summary/Abstract: Online and hybrid courses on IT-related topics have been increasing in demand and interest for decades, but the recent pandemic situation has made them critical. This article presents the results of a survey related to online/hybrid learning among engineering students in Bulgarian universities. The results reveal some of the problems and attitudes towards programming education, as well as some challenges and expectations of students regarding online programming courses according to recent educational requirements. Some popular gamification, PBL and GBL strategies were used in the online learning process. Some elements of gamification were introduced into the learning process.
