Abstract

ABSTRACT This learning strategy provides accounting faculty with a detailed course design and materials for a 3-credit, 14-week RPA course at the graduate level. This learning strategy is valuable in four respects. First, it leverages existing materials in the public domain and provides accounting faculty with a potential framework for using these materials to create an RPA course. Second, it teaches students RPA concepts and provides them with hands-on skills. Third, although it features a stand-alone RPA course, specific modules from this course can also be used as non-technical tutorials and be integrated into existing accounting courses. Last, it features resource and experience sharing based on the course implementation. Overall, this learning strategy adds an alternative resource to accounting faculty considering teaching RPA.
