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? Light and medium users download more per login and view fewer pages per download at T2, indicating increased search efficiency. → Pynoo 2012
Evidence¶
Pynoo 2012¶
Pynoo, B., Tondeur, J., Van Braak, J., Duyck, W., Sijnave, B. & Duyck, P. (2012). Teachers' acceptance and use of an educational portal. Computers & Education, 58(4), 1308-1317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2011.12.026
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Paired samples t-tests compared per-session usage metrics between T1 and T2 for light and medium users. The results report that "these users become more efficient in searching for information", consistent with prior work cited by the authors.
"Light (t(601) = -6.039, p<.001) and medium (t(192) = -2.013, p=.05) users download more per login and need to consult fewer pages per download at T2 (respectively t(505) = 6.769, p<.001; t(187) = 3.637, p<.001). This indicates that these users become more efficient in searching for information"
