Subclaims¶

q1 i? When behavioural markers of confusion identified in laboratory studies appear during real online learning, educators can say with some confidence that a student may be confused and intervene. → Jason M. Lodge and Linda Corrin 2017

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

The authors' theoretical argument that laboratory studies "provide suggestions as to the type of behaviours evident when a student gets confused", enabling interventions such as automated feedback or teacher communication when markers recur online. No empirical data are reported in the commentary.

"When these same markers become evident when students learn in a real online environment, we can say with some con fidence that the student could be confused. Having identi fied potential confusion, appropriate educational interventions can be made."
