N2  - This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of game-based learning in supporting IT education particularly in network security topics. To attain this objective, the post-test was administered to the participant. This study adopted the Quasi-experimental research design involving 91 participants. The finding from this study suggested that participants who participated in game-based learning outperformed the participants in the control group. © 2016 IEEE.
