Accounting e-Learning Software Testing Projects
Our subject knowledge of accounting and experience with accounting
software has led to our testing a number of software
products and product series that teach accounting principles.
Carol Yacht's General Ledger software on CD-ROM (series)
This software is an easy-to-use, modern general ledger
software tool that helps students learn how to record transactions,
explore depreciation methods and inventory systems, calculate
financial ratios,
and create financial statements. This software supports the use of
customized problem and solution data sets per textbook. We have
tested both the General Ledger software application itself (through
development) as well as its implementation for a number of textbooks.
One implementation of the
general ledger software we have tested is found by following the
link.
Thunder Mountain Computerized Business Simulation for use
with Principles of Accounting/Financial Accounting
This
computerized business simulation product—and
its cousin, Granite Bay Jet Ski, which we also test regularly—allows
students to practice entering accounting transactions related to
running a small business, including accounting for inventory.
Accounting Topic Tackler (series)
These interactive CDs help students with the accounting concepts
they typically find the most difficult to learn. The material on the
CDs includes an innovative, step-by-step integration of a video
segment, slide show, a practice session and a self-test
for each difficult-to-master concept. Some CDs include additional
videos and narrated slide shows. One of the Topic Tackler
interactive accounting software products we have tested recently
is found by clicking the link. Products we have tested in this
series each year include CDs/DVDs for financial, managerial,
intermediate, and cost accounting.
Intermediate Accounting Coach software
The Coach CD-ROM is a multimedia product
integrating narrated illustrations, quizzes,
and alternative reading material that helps students understand some
of the more difficult topics associated with intermediate
accounting.
