  5. Outcomes…Student ability to • Use system to apply course concepts • Document system implementation • Solve system problems • Present accomplishments at conference

  6. Core defined as…Students • MIS Interns for system • Implementation • Maintenance • Independent study/graduate students for testing • System • Course material

  7. Support….from • Academic Alliances • We use Microsoft • Dynamics GP • Microsoft Windows Server and SQL • Other alliances are available • University • Department and College • Department’s Advisory Board

  8. Course Integration • Provide • handout of info on system • video and PowerPoint (or WORD) • log in instructions • overviews/examples of applying course concepts. Include sample questions in PowerPoint files. • Create assignments related to course concepts.

  9. Accounting Information SystemsPowerPoint Presentations and Videos • Dynamics GP at NDSU video: log in process • Trial balance and financial statements videos: retrieve information; build FS • Theoretical structure & physical components • Examples of updating the system video: effect of updating system • Controls: application and access
