q2 i? Presentation software, not directly taught but consistently modeled by instructors, showed a noticeable rise in self-reported adoption, with mean increasing from 4.40 to 5.93 between pretest and post-posttest. → Orr 2009

q2 · i? · design · r2

In the pilot's descriptive results (n=15), presentation software means and medians increased from 4.40 to 5.93 and 4.00 to 6.00 respectively between pretest and post-posttest, despite the technology not being directly taught; a number of students also selected it as a topic or medium for their major course project.

"The use of this technology was not directly taught to students, but was consistently modeled by instructors throughout the on‐campus course component."
