This paper reports the lesson design of theory and technology of computer networks and information security, designed for the informatics course for non-CS major university students. The lesson unit consists of two lessons applied by flipped learning style, in which students first watch on-demand video lectures to acquire basic knowledge of network theory and technology, then they do hands-on activities using some web tools that we developed to consolidate the knowledge. The questionnaire results after the CS0 course where the lesson design was applied suggested that the hands-on activity was effective in improving the understanding of network and security.
