The FASTER project is a collaboration between accounting lecturers in three Institutes of Technology to
develop a series of interactive, media-rich e-learning resources to support students learn aspects of
financial accounting.
Each resource introduces learners to the key concept through a short, interactive presentation.
Learners are guided through a worked example, with videos showing the development of the solution.
A problem is presented that learners are encouraged to first try and then answer a series of short
questions, each question accompanied by a hint in the form of an image taken from a model solution-inprogress. Immediate feedback is provided. Each resource also includes a review quiz, which draws
randomly on a small bank of questions so it is different each time it is attempted.
This collaboration was supported by the NDLR under their LiNCs funding, with training and elearning
support provided by local teaching & learning units as well as the NDLR. The resources were developed
using Articulate Studio, with integrated videos developed using Camtasia and Screenr.
