Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Despite its Socratic design, students in the third cycle mainly used the chatbot to answer questions in line with their individual study habits, including collaborative study sessions and targeted queries about text details. → Hilliger 2026

q2 · i? · design · r3
Individual cognitive walkthroughs with five of eight active users, analyzed thematically. Students valued the chatbot's course-content specialization, calling it a kind of "ChatGPT of the course," and used it for clarifying concepts, study methods, and group study dialogue.
"its use did not necessarily align with the intended Socratic model. Instead, students primarily used it to answer questions in line with their individual study habits."
