ABSTRACT:

Although a great deal has been written about integration of computer into accounting courses, a systematic framework for computer use in accounting education is missing. This study develops an approach that permits curriculum-wide integration of the computer. The approach uses a role model of computer, and is based on the doctrine of comparative advantage. A description of an application of the approach at a university is provided. The study also clarifies the meaning of the term integration by making explicit the specific types of computer roles in accounting education.
