Iterative Findings
In order to understand the findings in this study, we will begin by thoroughly explaining the different design iterations of the course, followed by the findings related to the sense of connectedness felt by students in each iteration. We will then discuss overall findings.
Baseline SOC Findings
The mean and standard deviation for the baseline version of the course, for both the connectedness score and perception of SOC importance, are reported in Table 3. The connectedness score mean was 50.80 out of a possible 66. The SOC importance mean was 4.12 out of a possible 6. The student ratings mean was 6.60 out of a possible 8.
