q2 · i? · causal · r1

Lecture-video viewing experiment with 40 participants comparing FastPerson summarized viewing with normal playback. Viewing time fell 53% on average; quiz-measured comprehension showed "no statistically significant difference" from normal playback; equivalence was not tested. No effect size printed.

"FastPerson achieved an average 53% reduction in viewing time, with no statistically significant difference in quiz scores compared with normal playback; 78% of participants rated the switching functionality as useful or very useful."

q2 · i? · design · r2

User-experience ratings from the same 40-participant experiment: a large majority rated the chapter-switching interface positively. This is a descriptive percentage, not an effect size.

"78% of participants rated the switching functionality as useful or very useful."
