Abstract

Accounting instructors have for a long period of time struggled to keep their students engaged with learning a very technical field of study. Teachers today try to add activities to the classroom to keep students interested in the material. One of these activities has been the use of various simple games and activities that help in the learning process.
The advent of the use of smart phones and tablets has provided teachers with an option to use more advanced games and activities. The advantage of some of these tools is that teachers can also track the success of students in learning of specific course learning objectives. We will introduce a free on-line tool that allows a teacher to both engage students in reviewing previously taught material and to also see if the students have learned the concepts in question.
