Abstract: In this study, an ICT course is redesigned with a blended learning concept. This course aims to teach an introduction to game technology in the following three main topics: ‘Introduction to Computer’, ‘Game software technology’, and ‘Game art technology’. Basic computer science concepts such as binary numbers, algebra, vectors, data structure, computer graphics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are introduced in this course. In the flipped classroom, insufficient preparation of students before class and an increased workload of students and teachers are the challenges to overcome. Active learning is carried out in the classroom, as it enhances students’ concentration in the classroom. The pre- and post-test was used to investigate the effects of in-class and out-of-class activities in this method. In this study, active learning was applied to flipped classrooms in this course, and its learning effects were compared with that of the traditional method. The learning outcomes of active learning were significantly improved. In-class activity had significant effects on the outcome quantitatively and qualitatively. The learning outcomes of out-of-class activities for which students were usually insufficiently prepared were also improved.
