- 17. 1. Let’s dance… “These studies answer the ‘‘big’’ questions (e.g., is DE/OL more effective than classroom instruction?), but they generally fail to establish an alignment of evidence that addresses the ‘‘do’s’’ and ‘‘don’ts’’ of instruction via rigorous research.” (p.89).

- 18. 1. Let’s dance… The inconvenient truth is… Blended learning has become a popular construct that means different things to different people… Arguably the concept has done little to disrupt the ‘old normal’ and the familiar tap, tap, tap of the same dance routine continues to reinforce traditional educational outcomes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mspsfamily/

- 46. Conclusion Blending for active learning is not a single dance!
- 47. Conclusion Blending for active learning is not a single dance! It requires visionary choreographers to skillfully plan the moves of a whole dance troop to get the best out of individual dancers in order to produce a truly great performance.
