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 i3 Children who both interacted with different phases of simulation complexity and completed an above average number of actions were 11.4 times more likely to be amongst learners achieving above average learning gains with Ecolab II, and 12.4 times more likely with the original Ecolab. → Rosemary Luckin & Benedict du Boulay 2016

q2 · i3 · design · r2
An odds-ratio analysis across the original Ecolab and Ecolab II evaluations, with odds ratios of "11.4 times more likely" (Ecolab II) and "12.4 times more likely" (original Ecolab), illustrating the consistency of results between the two studies. The article concludes that extending learners to interact with more complex concepts is consistent with learning.
"Children who both interacted with different phases of simulation complexity and completed an above average number of actions were 11.4 times more likely to be amongst the learners achieving above average learning gains with Ecolab II, and 12.4 times more likely with the original Ecolab."

- In the district study, teachers assigned articles above students' STAR Lexile levels (about 375 points higher on average), and greater STAR growth related to completing more, harder, and more accurate ReadWorks assignments — related
