Blended education for systems architecting evaluation of the initial blended course version

Blended education, the combination of traditional face-to-face education with online possibilities, is seen as the way for the future in education. Challenge for course providers is to learn how to offer blended education and to make the transition toward blended education. In this paper, we evaluate a first version of a blended course. The organization took an existing course in architecting and transformed it into a blended version with the purpose to learn what blended education is an where the challenges are. We succeeded in running the blended course, and we obtained a clear list of improvements for future blended versions.
