Abstract:

International trade is a standard topic in principles of macroeconomics courses. It is a challenging topic

for undergraduate students, specifically comparative advantage and the terms of trade. A tutorial

simulation was previously created and validated as an effective aid to student understanding of the topic.

Changes were made to the previous tutorial simulation both in content and the method of delivery. The

effects of these changes on student adoption and tutorial efficacy were studied through a quasiexperimental

design. The revised tutorial is shown to increase student use of the tutorial as a study aid

and to increase student understanding of the topic.
