Unlike
other accounting educational software focusing
on the subject matter contents and there after
evaluating such content knowledge through “question
and answer” drill and practice, the GenerReS
and ASSET series packages offer additional CBL
trademark preparation of financial statements
simulation adopting the relevant accounting
standards. Evaluation of subject-matter understanding
is through the application of knowledge acquired
from using other modules in the software in
preparing a full set of accounts using the simulation.
This
simulation, while incorporating industry software
features, does not forego the logic of bookkeeping
in each of the relevant steps of the accounting
cycle. Each advance step of the cycle too is
dependent upon its predecessor so that a continuous
scaffolding of knowledge learning process is
resulted in.
With
the learning material modules distinct from
the simulation module, GenerReS and
ASSET software packages have the capacity to evolve
into learning tools that are flexible enough
to support the needs of various curriculum structure
of the different educational establishments.
The
AssessUrBook software, an examination management
program for facilitators is a breakthrough product
for computer-based evaluation and marking of
learners responses. Unlike other evaluation
programs confined to the marking of multiple-choice
objective responses, AssessUrBook evaluates
learner performance in the preparation of each
step of the accounting cycle therein complementing
the learning of accounting using the GenerReS
and ASSET series packages.
Designed
to achieve higher order educational attainment,
CBL products, yet, are able to foster ease of
navigation to users. CBL product design has
evolved by way of answering the immediate needs
of both accounting educators and learners.
