Abstract
Blended learning models are formed by combining face-to-face and online learning activities. According to the classification by Twigg (2003), blended learning models can be categorized as follows: replacement, supplemental, emporium or buffet. The University Computing Centre (SRCE) is in the process of developing a non-formal educational program, primarily for IT professionals (system administrators) working in higher-education institutions in Croatia entitled edu4IT. During the planning phase, all issues, such as learners' characteristics, difficulty level, program modularity, availability, organizational resources, etc., have been taken into consideration in order to identify the most effective method for delivering content. In this paper, we will present in detail our approach and concept of the first level of the educational program edu4IT, “System Administrator 1”, based on the selected blended learning model (replacement or flipped classroom).
