Another charity -

publishes results on something that didn't work - whether learning analytics could help find students with low wellbeing, and whether they could be nudged by an email. Fantastic that they are publishing the null result

They spent two years finding out something âdidn't workâ. Thatâs great news. â Impact > Simplified
A two-year study. Three universities. Randomised controlled trials. And the result? The intervention didn't work. But that isnât the end of the story.

Remembering the time I complained to Royal Mail about there always being a car parked in the customer disabled space at the sorting office despite there being no customers inside. The same car. They dealt with it by removing the disabled customer space.
