Description
INTRODUCTION As accounting enrollments grow, the number of qualified accounting faculty decline, and the diversity of student profiles widens, accounting programs may be able to adapt to and harness technological innovation in order to create more efficient and user-friendly ways of delivering course content. Technology, specifically as it relates to computers and the internet was encouraged in the previous decade by many as offering great potential for enhancing higher education (Bonner & Walker, 1994; Drucker, 1997; Ewell, 1994; Geary & Rooney, 1993; Gilbert, 1995). However, it is generally accepted among faculty members who have taught online courses that such courses are often more demanding of time and resources compared with traditional courses. Apparently, even though such course may create added burdens for faculty, higher education administration appears to have a keen interest in pursuing online delivery. For example, over fifty business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business currently offer an online graduate degree program (U.S. News & World Report, 2004) and over 200 universities currently offer at least some portion of their accounting coursework online (Bryant, 2005). And it appears that growth of online education will probably continue. For example, the University of Illinois plans to enroll 70,000 students in its online programs by 2018 (Foster, 2007).
