A STUDY OF ONLINE HOMEWORK MANAGERS ON STUDENT LEARNING AND SATISFACTION IN ACCOUNTING COURSES
Abstract
Online homework managers allow instructor to assign and collect homework online; the systems then grade the homework and enter the grades into the instructor’s grade book automatically. This paper addresses the question whether the use of OHMs in accounting courses affects student learning and satisfaction. The regression results provide some evidence that students doing online homework regularly scored significantly higher on final exams. In addition, with the adaptation of the OHMs, students were found to be more satisfied with the course. These findings show that the use of OHMs can help students learn accounting concepts better. Our results are likely to be of interest to many accounting faculty members who continue to use traditional teaching methods.
