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? · review · r3
Quasi-experimental, posttest-only design comparing a virtual problem-based learning exercise delivered via the Web against a text-based version of the same PBL exercise, measuring achievement on physiology examination items and perceptions via the Teaching and Learning Environment Questionnaire. The review reports VPBL "is equally as effective as the text-based version."
"The VPBL is equally as effective as the text-based version for enhancing students’ learning and their learning environment in small-group PBL sessions."
