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? Early results from DALMOOC indicate learners experienced uncertainty and discomfort moving to self-regulated learning, and edX-layer learners found the distributed structure confusing at times. → Carolyn Penstein Rosé & Oliver Ferschke 2016

q2 · i? · design · r2

Early observational results from the Fall 2014 dual-layer MOOC (DALMOOC) on edX with the ProSolo layer, run as part of a design-based research process. Learners "experience some uncertainty and discomfort in transitioning from instructor-driven to self-regulated learning" and the authors conclude better scaffolding is needed.

"Early results from DALMOOC indicate that learners experience some uncertainty and discomfort in transitioning from instructor-driven to self-regulated learning. Learners within the edX course found the distributed structure of DALMOOC confusing at times. Better scaffolding and support is needed to assist learners in transitioning between structured instruction and open engagement in social systems"
