Use OERB to getinstructions and activities for Simply Accounting.Make note:you need version 2006 for the files provided in OERB.

In AMDEC, the Avon Maitland DSB online school, our techs make this available for online students with instructions and ability to download (this is an OSAPAC program).

If you do a search to find the activities, remember to record the ELO number for immediate access (saves search errors):ELO1092490 (alpha/numeric) This gives you and/or your students access to instruction on how to use the program as well as practice and formative/summative assignments.

In my experience as an e-learning teacher, students have few problems learning this using this method. I am able to answer their questions just by re-reading the text (typical of students everywhere, they don’t always read carefully or re-read) of the instructions.I have little experience or knowledge of Simply Accounting myself, so if I can do it, anybody can.

Activities follow along in a logical order, providing practice as the students move through the activities.Instructions are step-by-step: One of my online students was hired by a local bookkeeper in his community based on his knowledge of Simply Accounting, spreadsheets, and accounting having taken the online Accounting course! The bookkeeper/accountant was thrilled to hire my student and he was thrilled to get the position since it provided him with additional training to assist with simple bookkeeping and tax preparation. I provide this information as evidence that students can teach themselves using the e-learning materials available to all of us in Ontario.
