Abstract
We incorporated the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Excel 2016 Certification Exam into our introductory managerial accounting class at Cleveland State University. The purpose was to increase student engagement, to show how Excel is used in day-to-day business applications, to stress the importance of technology skills in real life business environments, and to improve the relevance of this introductory accounting course for all business majors. This paper describes our experimental study which utilized the Certiport examination process, materials developed and provided to students to assist them to prepare for and be successful on the exam, and the results and feedback that we received from our students. Our analysis allowed us to evaluate our initial course work requirements and plan for an improved syllabus for the Fall of 2021. Even though we were hindered by COVID-19 restrictions, we were able to gather valuable data to share with our University.
