q2 i? After adjusting for general education, participants with the least exposure to dementia obtained the greatest knowledge increases, and the UDMOOC × exposure interaction was significant. → Eccleston 2019

q2 · i? · design · r2

Multilevel model of pre-post DKAS scores for 4894 UDMOOC participants. The article reports the "UDMOOC × exposure interaction was significant ( F(7,4886) = 87.8, p < 0.001)", described as "an equalising capacity" across exposure cohorts. No effect size is printed.

"Participants with the least exposure to dementia obtained the greatest increases in dementia knowledge scores (after adjusting for general education) after taking the UDMOOC."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Home Learning Environment — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
