At a minimum, blended instructors should allow six months lead time for course development; one year is preferred. Several instructors voiced an opinion that the need for integration and organization necessitates a full course redesign; creating a blended course is not as simple as placing presentation slides or notes online.

* Practice Testing
- Rather than recapping previous material, informally test
students on it
- Require students to actively participate in learning (cf.
partnerships)
* Distributed Practice
- Better to get students to recall material over time rather than
have a single revision session
- Make revision an integral part of a course, throughout its
delivery
