Abstract

This paper reports our experience towards adopting the semi-flipped classroom model for redesigning and implementing the Introduction to Game Programming course at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The model was implemented to overcome the lack of dedicated lab sessions in an eminently practical course, constituting the students' first to video game development techniques and technologies. The semi-flipped classroom model has proven to be effective in maintaining the motivation of the highest-skilled students due to the emphasis on hands-on cooperative learning activities during class time. Additionally, it has increased the interest and dedication of those with more significant difficulties by briefly reviewing and reinforcing the key concepts at the beginning of each session.
