Accounting Instructor Editing Access

What this means:
We value the expertise and experience you bring to your Accounting course. To support your teaching, we provide open editing access so you can personalize the course and bring your own teaching style to life. This includes incorporating current examples, clarifying instructions, and engaging learners meaningfully.

At the same time, the core curriculum must remain intact to ensure alignment with program standards, consistency across sections, and compliance with accessibility requirements.

Core assessments, learning objectives, and rubrics must not be changed.
Discussion Boards are yours to make your own—add prompts, examples, reframe wording, or jazz them up to match your style, as long as the key learning outcomes remain.
Fix typos and minor errors when you see them.
Add examples, context, or personal insights to strengthen connections to the material.
Adjust due dates if needed to accommodate scheduling concerns.

Your perspective is valued!
If you spot areas where this course could be improved—whether that’s instructions, examples, engagement strategies, or design elements—please share your ideas (you can open the link to the left or preview suggestions at the bottom of this page).

Your feedback ensures improvements benefit both instructors and students across all sections!

Learning Resources

All content can be found within Canvas under the "Modules" section. Students are encouraged to start in the current unit and work their way down as content is developed in a linear sequence. Jumping around content will make the course confusing.

Student Success Tip: Students who may struggle can screenshot the Modules page and cross off completed items as they complete them.

Instructor Responsibilities

This section outlines the instructor's responsibilities, which include providing assignment feedback, facilitating discussions, and responding to student questions.

All instructors should provide a weekly announcement that includes helpful information they wish to share for student clarity.

Using the Course Content in Other Modalities

Park’s model is to supply the content contained within this shell to instructors teaching the course entirely online and in a blended format. In Park’s blended and online plus courses, instructors curate and/or add to the content in the shell to determine what content and activities from the shell they will use in the live portion of the course. A practical instructor guide will guide instructors in using the content for a blended course.
