Since the system is internet based, the instructor’s account and the exams housed within their account are accessible where ever they can access the internet (home, office, or the classroom). EZ Test can search the test bank by learning objectives, level of difficulty, topic area, Bloom’s Taxonomy level, AACSB and AICPA skill areas which provides an engine for targeted Assurance of Learning analysis and assessment.

OTHER TECHNOLOGY SUPPLEMENTS

Kaplan CPA Simulations The McGraw-Hill Companies and Kaplan have teamed up to bring students CPA simulations to test their knowledge of the concepts discussed in various chapters, practice critical professional skills necessary for career success, and prepare for the computer based CPA exam. Kaplan CPA Review provides a broad selection of Web-based simulations that were modeled after the AICPA format. Exam candidates need to practice with simulations prior to their exam day to become familiar with the item format, the research database, and the spreadsheet and word processing software used exclusively on the CPA exam (not Excel or Word). Practice with the Kaplan CPA Review simulations will ensure that the candidate is familiar with the functionality of the simulations, including the tabs, icons, screens, and tools used on the exam. CPA simulations are found in the end-of-chapter material after the very last cases in Chapters 1, 2, and 8.

ALEKS for Financial Accounting ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) delivers precise, qualitative diagnostic assessments of students’ knowledge, guides them in selecting appropriate new study material, and records their progress toward mastery of curricular goals in a robust classroom management system. ALEKS interacts with the student much as a skilled human tutor would, moving between explanation and practice as needed, correcting and analyzing errors, defining terms, and changing topics on request. By sophisticated modeling of a student’s knowledge state for a given subject, ALEKS can focus clearly on what the student is most ready to learn next. When students focus on exactly what they are ready to learn, they build confidence and a learning momentum that fuels success.
