The primary objective of this study is to explore and implement an innovative learning model that integrates a Case-driven Flipped Classroom with the online communication platform Discord, aimed at enhancing students’ computational thinking and problem-solving skills in higher education. This research addresses the gap in utilizing online communication technology in case-based learning to improve student competencies. The research methodology employs a systematic and detailed approach, including needs analysis, curriculum analysis, and student characteristics, to develop and validate the model. The study participants consist of 126 students enrolled in the Algorithms and Programming course in the Informatics Engineering Education program. A sample of 65 students was selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Researchers collected data through learning outcome measurements, classroom observations, questionnaires, and student feedback. They measured learning outcomes using the same pre-test and post-test instrument administered in the 12th week. They assessed student engagement and understanding through classroom observations and student feedback, indicating a qualitative approach in this research. The main findings of this study demonstrate that the learning model significantly enhances students’ understanding of computational concepts and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, this research provides a strong foundation for further implementing similar models in educational settings, integrating online communication technology with relevant instructional approaches, thereby contributing to the literature on learning innovation in higher education.
