I replied to John but I guess it was not on the list. I think this survey isn't unusual and probably is more about students perceptions than PSPP.
ERIC shows one other paper about PSPP: https://eric.ed.gov/?q=pspp&ff1=subComputer+Software&id=EJ1194048 This paper also doesn't look to be about PSPP so much as using technology to improve student satisfaction with learning. -Alan On 12/15/2020 1:41 PM, John Darrington wrote: > Somebody pointed out this research paper to me: > > https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1231626 > > > Whilst I'm personally pleased that the authors give a positive conclusion, > I can't help thinking that their methods and their reporting could have > been a lot more rigourous. > > The paper doesn't seem to pose a clear hypothesis.

Mead, Ph.D. President, Talent Algorithms Inc. science + technology = better workers http://www.alanmead.org The irony of this ... is that the Internet is both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the same time constrained within its own pre-defined box. And if that makes no sense to you, just reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have the vastness of the internet and yet billions of people decided to spend most of them time within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium of a website that sucks every possible piece of personal information out of you so it can sell it to others. And they see nothing wrong with that. -- Kieren McCarthy, commenting on why we are not all using IPv6
