Session Type: Structured Poster Session
By their nature, informal learning environments are often noisier (both literally and figuratively) than laboratory or classroom environments. And researchers have less control over the research process itself. The main outcome of this session will be a glance at the wide manifestations null results can take in our field and how to design for, interpret and communicate them. It includes a mix of review/theoretical discussions meant to guide the future and empirical results meant to provide real-world examples.
