How do we determine when one thing causes another? It's a core question in any science, including social sciences such as education. In our field we see a lot of correlation confused for causation, which results in ineffective technology and pedagogy. This post takes an analysis of causation beyond 'if and only if' and considers different types of causation and different ways are data can lead or mislead us. Clearly written with pictures.
