I answered it in another response, but I think this is why we're seeing a rise in meta-analysis papers. Take a bunch of small N's, consolidate them, and analyze their trend. This analysis can also be strengthened by evaluating the

It is; however, my next understanding is this is why we are seeing a rise in meta-analysis papers. It is difficult to acquire a sufficient N with a single study. As a result, you see authors consolidating all of the papers within a topic an

The small N is addressed by the authors. To acquire a larger N would mean recruiting more participants, which would require either compensation/extra credit or rely on people volunteering ~1 hour of their time. Likewise, collecting tha

MOOCs are an interesting area as well, as they share similar drop off to free mobile games - high initial recruitment and engagement, but immediate drop off. I love a lot of the components that MOOCs use and utilize them in my course design

While I do agree, it is not without caveats. One issue is that "engagement" is not a good metric for measuring learning. One of the early studies made on the DragonBox math game system[1] showed less benefit than allowing re-pract
