In this research, we aim to understand the effectiveness of adopting educational technologies in a computer literacy course to students in a medical university. The course was organized with three core components: Open Education Resources (OER) reading, a book club, and online game competition. These components were delivered by a learning management system (LMS). Participating records of LMS and survey results are analyzed. This study has shown positive results in terms of students' self-evaluation and online participation rate.
