aThe n value excludes missing cases because of item nonresponse
bSubgroup that reported their efolios were effective (including “somewhat effective” and “very effective”) at teaching LLL
cSubgroup that reported their efolios were not effective (including “neutral,” “somewhat ineffective,” and “very ineffective”) at teaching LLL
dFrom Fisher’s exact test. Programs were asked to report if feature was utilized, available but not utilized, would be nice, or not important. Comparison was made between programs that responded “utilized” and those that responded “available but not utilized” or “not important”
