Introduction

Dear Colleagues

In addition to the material currently available, we are kick-starting the instructional resources section of the website with some additional materials. The overriding objective is to provide examples of materials which are classroom-ready, along with some additional pedagogical-based items. The classroom-ready materials are classified as: case/case adaptations; supplementary classroom materials such as video clips and financial press articles; as well as innovative classroom approaches and samples. Each of these is briefly described below. Each of these sub- sections is intended as shared-forums to the extent that the opportunity exists for any member to make a contribution. These can be sent to me at albie@unimelb.edu.au

Happy teaching!

Sub-sections:

  1. Cases/case adaptations
    This section is to focus on favorite cases you might have and/or adaptations you have made to a case. The example provided here relates to alternative uses and questions for the Chemico case.

  2. Supplementary classroom materials:
    This section provides the opportunity to showcase your favorite video clip or financial press article. Two vide-clip examples are provided here.

    A. Video clips
    B. Financial press articles

  3. The innovative classroom
    This section is likely to include examples of classroom materials that are a bit different. Our example relates to some materials used in lectures (large class sizes) tending towards a ‘flipped-classroom’ experience.

  4. Thoughts on teaching and learning
    This section provides a forum for more general pieces of work relating to pedagogy and related issues.
   

The Educational Resources Committee of the MAS is pleased to provide section members with the abstracts of relevant articles published to date in all the major accounting education journals. These abstracts relate both to research studies (e.g., "Main Section" articles) and instructional resources (e.g., teaching-related papers and cases). We hope you find the information contained herein to be useful, for both instructional and research purposes. Please forward to the Chairs of the MAS Instructional Resources Committee, Albie Brooks (albieb@unimelb.edu.au) your comments and suggestions. Do you find the information contained herein to be useful? How can we improve this site? Thanks for your feedback.
