Abstract
The paper examines the impact of computer-based instruction (CBI) on a professionally-accredited undergraduate taxation course. The objective of introducing CBI into the course was to promote independent learning among students to prepare them for lifelong learning. Students' enthusiasm for the software and the frequency with which they used it would indicate that this objective was achieved to some degree. Furthermore, they perceived CBI to be as effective as lectures and taught tutorials in helping them achieve the designated learning outcomes of the course and to be the most interesting and stimulating learning tool. However, students considered that the tax software chosen was insufficiently detailed to permit achievement of the professional learning outcomes and inadequate as a delivery medium for theoretical and conceptual material. Consequently, supplantive use appears inappropriate on an undergraduate taxation course. Nevertheless, students strongly supported the use of CBI in a supportive role.
