Business cases are commonly adopted into the accounting curricula to promote deep learning. However, in practice, case-based learning is often ineffective without facilitation because of accounting students' strong surface-learning tendencies. This study investigates the case-based learning effect of colour-coded digital annotation (CCDA). CCDA…

This study presents an empirically validated serious game proposal to cope with the challenges of apathy and lack of security in freshmen studying accounting. A review of the literature on serious games in accounting education found a dearth of studies identifying the factors that promote their effectiveness. Therefore, this study first analyses…

Low passing rates are common in asynchronous introductory accounting courses due to the challenging material and the online setting. While peer support involving knowledgeable peer assistants has been shown to improve face-to-face students' performance, it is unknown whether it will be effective when used online. Another issue of traditional peer…
