The Dashboard's largest rating advantage was on exploring response details (L1, Δ=1.30), while the two platforms were nearly comparable on broad trends (L2, Δ=0.20) and development over time (L6, Δ=0.10)¶

q2 · i? · design · r2

Descriptive per-item comparison from the same n=10 Likert ratings (Table 2, Figure 4). The article reports the per-item mean differences, with both platforms rated highest on ease of use (Dashboard 4.40, Maker 4.00) and lowest on student progress (Dashboard 3.20, Maker 2.90).

"The largest gap is on exploring details (L1, ∆=1.30) and almost no difference on broad trends (L2,∆=0.20) and development over time (L6,∆=0.10). Both platforms received their highest ratings on ease of use"
