New competencies that are required for evidence-based practices to be implemented in blended learning include the ability to understand which measures are valid and reliable for answering the specific measurement questions of interest.

New competencies that are required for evidence-based practices to be implemented in blended learning include the ability to contextualize all results through the use of comparison groups, which do not always need to be randomized.

New competencies that are required for evidence-based practices to be implemented in blended learning include the ability to capitalize on existing data where relevant and appropriate in order to measure local implementation.
