Concept maps in accounting education

A three part presentation about concept mapping in accounting education.
Background paper
My presentation, in three parts, is based on a draft paper
Part one: identifies some common problems with current accounting education practices, drawn chiefly from personal and anecdotal experiences.
Part two: draws on literature in cognitive psychology and other disciplines. It suggests the educational benefits of concept mapping in accounting education in the following areas:
Part three: explains the layout and functions of a concept map, the BaSIS BoardTM.
Using conversations and stories
I refer to conversations we have with students before using the BaSIS BoardTM. These are the subject of a series run on Accounting Cafe. Recordings of past webinars are available below.
Using the BaSIS Board online
I refer to examples of using the concept framework in online learning systems. These examples use H5P, although it is possible to create similar examples using tools native to any learning management system or in another open format such as SCORM.
