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 linear model predicting final grade from number of forum posts reached only r = 0.1967 (r² = 0.0387, p = 0.08), weaker than the workspace-based model; the forum-post coefficient was not significant at 0.01. → Romero-Zaldivar 2012

Comparison analysis (Table 5, Nstudents = 79): linear regression of final grade on number of forum posts, coefficient 1.4017, p = 0.0823, r = 0.1967, r² = 0.0387. In this face-to-face course LMS activity was reduced to the discussion forum, and the authors conclude workspace monitoring "offers a better estimation of their academic achievement".
"With this comparison we conclude that, for face to face learning scenarios, monitoring activities in the student workspace offers a better estimation of their academic achievement."
