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? The connectivist approach to MOOCs, focused on distributed knowledge and cognition, neglects to describe the process of personal self-transformation. → Markus Deimann and Robert Farrow 2013

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical critique of the connectivist four-step model (aggregation, remixing, repurposing, feeding forward) attributed to Downes, Siemens, and Cormier. The article argues this approach "neglects to describe the specific procedure" of personal self-transformation; it is an interpretive claim without data.

"However, being focused on the distributed nature of knowledge and cognition this approach neglects to describe the specific procedure that takes place during the process of personal self- transformation."
