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 i? Registered learners' ratio of compilations with errors to total compilations was 0.296 versus 0.185 for anonymous learners globally, and 0.177 vs 0.091 per session. → Gallego-Romero 2020

Gallego-Romero, J.M., Alario-Hoyos, C., Estévez-Ayres, I. et al. (2020). Analyzing learners' engagement and behavior in MOOCs on programming with the Codeboard IDE. Education Tech Research Dev 68, 2505–2528 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-020-09773-6
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Log analysis of 613 compilation errors among 5,110 actions in three Java MOOCs. The article interprets errors as evidence of code modification since base codes were nearly error-free; per-session analysis (Table 3) shows 0.177 vs 0.091, t=-4.40, p<0.0001.
"Table 2 shows that the ratio of compilations with errors and total number of compilations is 0.296 for registered learners and 0.185 for anonymous learners."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Registered learners modify the teacher-provided base code more than anonymous learners, both in share of sessions and in Levenshtein distance — a broader claim this one bears on
- When comparing only sessions in which the base code was actually modified, there are no significant differences between anonymous and registered learners in actions or time per session — related
- Registered learners in programming MOOCs using Codeboard show greater engagement than anonymous learners, compiling and executing code more times per access — related
- Registered learners perform more actions and spend more time per Codeboard working session than anonymous learners — related
