Subclaims¶
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 Number of synchronous messages written correlates positively with number of asynchronous notes written (r = 0.6, p = 0). → Murat Oztok 2012
q2 i2 Number of synchronous messages written correlates positively with number of notes read (r = 0.36, p = 0). → Murat Oztok 2012 (2)
Evidence¶
Murat Oztok 2012¶
Murat Oztok, Daniel Zingaro, Clare Brett, Jim Hewitt. (2012). Exploring Asynchronous and Synchronous Tool use in Online Courses. Preprint submitted to Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2012.08.007
q2 · i3 · associational · r1
Correlational analysis of platform log data across all 222 students in nine dual-mode courses, relating messages written to asynchronous behaviors. The quote reports "r = 0.6,p = 0" for notes written, suggesting messaging does not privatize participation.
"we found a highly significant positive correlation between number of messages written and number of notes written (r = 0.6,p = 0)"

q2 · i2 · associational · r2
Same correlational analysis over all 222 students. The quote reports "r = 0.36,p = 0" for notes read, indicating active synchronous students also read more asynchronous notes than their peers.
"we found a moderate positive correlation between number of messages written and number of notes read (r = 0.36,p = 0)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Frequent private-message writers show a lower note scan rate, scanning fewer opened notes (r = −.18) — related
- Students who write more synchronous messages spend more time online (r = .61) — related
- No significant correlation between number of messages written and average length of notes written — related
- Students in large online classes scan lengthy notes (over 350 words) more frequently than students in small classes — related
