This is the second in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates whether introducing a timer alongside digitised lesson plans impacts upon teachers’ lesson plan usage. The A/B test found that providing a timer did not influence how much time teachers spent on digitised lesson plans. While, on average, teachers in the timer group tended to spend less time on lesson plans for literacy and more for numeracy, this was not statistically significant. Recommendations for DPL providers and researchers are discussed, taking into account contextual factors.
