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.
q1 i? The edX platform's usage monitoring will enable evaluation of the modules' educational impact with a large sample of online users, to be reported in a follow-up publication. → Nathan E. Sanders 2013
Evidence¶
Nathan E. Sanders 2013¶
Nathan E. Sanders, Chris Faesi, Alyssa A. Goodman. (2013). A New Approach to Developing Interactive Software Modules through Graduate Education. https://arxiv.org/abs/1308.1908 doi:10.48550/arxiv.1308.1908
q1 · i? · design · r2
Authors' forward-looking plan, not a reported result: the team is working with HarvardX to re-cast suitable modules for high user demand, and plans to report usage and evaluation results "in a follow-up publication after sufficient data has been collected."
"The edX platform allows for detailed monitoring of who uses what material and how, including the data needed to search for correlations between usage of each module and individual student performance across all courses throughout the edX environment."
