Delivery Of Accounting Information Systems Study Tools Through The Internet
This paper presents the Internet as an alternative mechanism for delivering Accounting Information Systems (AIS) study tools. First, a comparison between Internet and tradi-tional delivery methods, such as pencil and paper, disk and CD-ROM is presented. The main advantages of the Internet over the other delivery forms are increased flex-ibility and ease of distribution. Next, we present an Internet study tool that was devel-oped for students learning cardinalities, which is a difficult data modeling topic cov-ered in many AIS courses. We first look at the design of the study tool. Then, we dis-cuss some of the features of the study tool: interactivity, multimedia, distribution and flexibility. Finally, we report some of the lessons learned from the actual delivery of the AIS study tool through the Internet.
