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.
q1 i? In times of quick transition to online learning, research games are hard to find, so advocates turn to commercial games whose pedagogical value is often not documented. → Andri Ioannou 2021

q1 · i? · theoretical · r1
The editorial's argument, extending Lee's (2021) response, that research games are very hard to find during quick transitions to online learning and that "their pedagogical value is often not documented" for commercial games. No evidence or data is offered.
"commercial games are more attractive and accessible by advocates of game-based learning; however, their pedagogical value is often not documented."
