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? The VIS version of the Ecolab produced the greatest average improvement in test scores, but was not the most successful system with learners of all abilities. → Rosemary Luckin & Benedict du Boulay 2016
q2 i? Mean improvement amongst WIS users in the high ability group was greater than for VIS and NIS, and mean learning gains for low ability NIS users were higher than for WIS and VIS. → Rosemary Luckin & Benedict du Boulay 2016

q2 · i? · design · r2
Classroom evaluation of three Ecolab versions (VIS, WIS, NIS) with pre and post tests identifying learning gains. The article notes one must bear in mind the small number of participants.
"The VIS version of the Ecolab produced the greatest average improvement in test scores, but was not the most successful system with learners of all abilities. The mean improvement amongst WIS users who were in the high ability group was greater than those for VIS and NIS."
