What was corrected
What the page claimed
Article mischaracterized a real research team's actual methodology and cited an unverified composite study with wrong year, journal, scope, and finding.
What was corrected
Corrected the Brydges citation to accurately describe their real self-guided-practice research design; replaced the unverified Steenbergen-Hu citation with the real 2013/2014 Journal of Educational Psychology papers and their actual mixed findings.
Why this is better
The Sweller, Ayres, and Kalyuga 2011 meta-analysis citation and the MOOC/Learning at Scale 2014 citation in the same article verified as accurately described.
