Using Great Plains Dynamics To Serve Two Diverse Student Populations

Abstract

This paper illustrates how Great Plains Dynamics is used in two courses with different objectives and student populations. In the undergraduate AIS course, the software is used to reinforce accounting cycle concepts while providing opportunity for hands-on experience with commercial accounting software. In the graduate BIS course, the software is used to provide a context in which students learn about the accounting software selection process, software features, and controls implemented in accounting software.
