            Abstract : 
This paper presents a blended learning model that has been successfully developed and applied at the College of Computing and Business Communications eMPIRICA in BiH, in frame of the study program Engineering Informatics. A developed and implemented blended learning model was created along the lines of Flex model, where the content, instruction and continuous assessment are delivered to students by using e-learning system eCampus. Students are provided with the variety of e-learning resources and activities along with obligatory face-to-face teaching and laboratory work. In order to estimate the efficiency of the applied blended learning model in comparison with traditional learning, a summative analysis has been performed based on an analysis of the success of two student test groups.
