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? The author's small-screen recommendations emerged from an inquiry in which participants including school teachers interacted with learning objects on HP iPAQ handhelds, followed by progressive redesign, student observation, and interviews. → Daniel Churchill 2011

q2 · i? · design · r2
A qualitative design-inquiry in which learning objects demonstrating various modalities and interaction kinds were used with teachers on handheld devices to elicit small-display design issues; objects were then progressively redesigned in consultation with teachers and used by students, whose use was observed and followed by interviews. No effect sizes are reported.
"In the earlier stage of the study, participants (including a number of school teachers) were engaged in interaction with a number of learning objects via handheld devices (HP iPAQ rw6828 Multimedia Messenger)."
