Abstract
Warsaw School of Computer Science has launched a multi-annual MOOC project “IT School” to prepare and open on-line a number of popular courses and other materials in the area of “basics of computer knowledge” for students of secondary level. The main objective of the project “IT School” is to popularize basic knowledge of computer technology, to encourage young people to study in the field of Information Technology and thus facilitate the study of the core courses. In the framework of Project twelve online courses was prepared and opened with particular care in preparing self-assessment tests, allowing students to check the level of understanding of the learning material after each course (http://www.it-szkola.edu.pl).
