Abstract

This paper describes how a technology-based case using Microsoft Access can aid in the assessment process. A case was used in lieu of giving a final examination in an Accounting Information Systems course. Students worked in small groups to design a database-driven payroll system for a hypothetical company. Each group submitted its results along with a written report and a group evaluation. Additionally, each group was required to make a formal presentation of its results. The activity was used to assess the student’s proficiencies in Access, written and oral communication skills, and teamwork skills. Student reactions to the activity are discussed within the paper.
