What was corrected

What the page claimed

Article included specific figures for Dunlosky's 2013 meta-analysis that do not match the actual published report, attributed Pavlik and Anderson's 2008 paper to the wrong journal along with a figure that could not be verified, described an entire 2022 study by Ulrich Boser that could not be verified, referenced a researcher, 'Siddharth Sanan,' who could not be verified to be affiliated with Stanford's Graduate School of Education as described, and included case studies for Duolingo, Accenture, a Jill Watson follow-up study, and PwC's upskilling program with details that could not be verified.

What was corrected

Rewrote the section to preserve the real underlying research and companies while removing statistics that could not be verified. Corrected Pavlik and Anderson's journal attribution, removed the Boser study reference and the Siddharth Sanan claim, and replaced all four case studies with accurate descriptions of the real programs: Duolingo's actual Foreign Language Annals study, Accenture's actual LearnVantage investment, Jill Watson's actual 2016 deployment, and PwC's actual 'New world. New skills.' program.

Why this is better

Verified against the original Dunlosky et al. 2013 Psychological Science in the Public Interest report, Pavlik and Anderson's actual publication record, Georgia Tech's real Jill Watson documentation, Duolingo's actual published Foreign Language Annals study, and Accenture's and PwC's actual public statements about their AI learning investments.
