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.
q3 i? Learners in the computer-mediated collaboration condition used a wider range of resources than learners in the face-to-face condition. → Frank Fischer 2005

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Experimental comparison of videoconferencing versus face-to-face collaboration conditions with 64 university students. The article reports that "Learners in the computer-mediated collaboration used a wider range of resources." No effect size is printed in the available text.
"Learners in the computer-mediated collaboration used a wider range of resources."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Content-specific external representations increase appropriate resource use without increasing shared knowledge after collaboration — related
- Videoconferencing was conducive to more negotiation of meaning than text chat and discussion board, measured as proportion of negotiated turns — related
- Anonymity in computer-mediated collaboration can produce a stronger group identity than non-anonymous face-to-face situations — related
- Moderation of synchronous computer-mediated interaction differs from face-to-face or asynchronous moderation — related
