The role of in-person tutorials in higher education

Erik Merkus and Felix Schafmeister

Economics Letters, 2021, vol. 201, issue C

Abstract: Tutorials represent an integral feature of many courses in higher education. In this pre-registered study, we test whether assigning students to attend tutorials online affected learning outcomes relative to traditional classroom-based tutorials. Leveraging within-student variation in test scores, we find no evidence for differences in learning outcomes across modes of teaching.
