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? A large majority of 170 computing students agreed the AI-generated Markdown videos were professionally produced, helped them understand Markdown, and explained Markdown accurately. → Esse Ciego 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Descriptive post-test survey of 170 computing students at two U.S. institutions after watching three 3-minute AI-generated Markdown videos. Likert ratings showed "92% agreement" on professional production, comprehension, and accuracy, with means of 4.52, 4.39, and 4.43 respectively.
"A large majority of the 170 students agreed or strongly agreed that the videos were professionally produced (𝜇= 4.52, 𝜎= 0.77; 92% agreement), helped them understand Markdown (𝜇= 4.39, 𝜎= 0.76; 92% agreement), and explained Markdown accurately (𝜇= 4.43, 𝜎= 0.78; 88% agreement)."
