The Rationale and Recipe for a Web-Based Accounting Subject
Abstract
This paper discusses the rationale, content, and teaching and learning activities for a new web-based subject at Victoria University. An expansion of course offerings into an array of countries in the Asia-Pacific region plus budgetary and demand pressures on staffing and physical resources have accelerated the need for cost-effective teaching and learning solutions. In response an Accounting Project subject has been developed by the School of Accounting and Finance that allows students at any location to undertake a valuable, interesting and robust course in financial analysis with minimal face-to-face interaction with a supervisor. The first trial of this Web-based delivery method for student-centred learning has resulted in report outputs by students that are topical, are based on very ‘fresh’ contemporaneous information, and are of a quality and currency that has led to their acceptance at international conferences.
