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 · i1 · design · r2

Participation and administration data from online delivery during Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 across 45 classes at 20 institutions. The article attributes low rates to lack of student incentives and administrative obstacles in timing reminders.

"the response rate in about half of those courses was disappointingly low. Only 20 of 45 classes had a matching pre/post rate of greater than 40%."
