Screen-capture outcome measure from the 62-student lab experiment: time elapsed until the first major peer action (major addition/deletion or coordination). The article reports the time was "reduced by more than 50%" with r = .54.

"using SITU has significantly reduced the time it took students to make their first major peer action in the document, which was reduced by more than 50% following the use of SITU, from an average time of 6 min and 12 s to 2 min and 47 s, with statistical significance (U (32,30) = 180, Z = -4.22, p <.001, r =.54)."
