Accounting Cycle Game

Many of us have used monopoly in our classes. Students enjoy playing the game and then recording their transactions and completing the accounting cycle. I've quit playing it with my classes because I didn't have a comparable way to incorporate the same experience for my asynchronous online classes. That is until now.....

I've created an online game version! The students will play against the computer and record their transactions as they play. They will have two rounds around the board and then finish out the accounting cycle. It's packaged as a SCORM file that can be imported into your LMS, and you can choose to have it assign a grade, complete/incomplete, or as a page.

A second version covering more advanced topics, including bad debt and the allowance method, interest accrual, and calculating straight-line depreciation, is currently in development.

Update: Since there has been a lot of international interest, I added a toggle between US GAAP and IFRS. I also updated the instructor guide to include an accessible option under both.
