@Failed_Buddhist assume subject X, which is complicated, has traditionally been taught using a particular pedagogy. those who teach it decide to utilize a non-traditional pedagogy. how should they evaluate the efficacy of the new methods?
I think this raises an interesting point. Going back to Chāgmé's opening question - I wonder whether you have a specific example in mind, re: Subject X (which sounds like a secret CIA mind-control project).

in days past, students were tutored. this is an expensive proposition at scale, so a teacher was assigned multiple students. now, a professor can teach thousands of students in an online university.

in each transition: 1:1 tutoring -> 1:X -> 1:[infinite] it is possible to ascertain whether students are absorbing the material. there also exist mechanisms via which student may ask questions. the instructor is able to assert that the student has learned.
