Use of REAL classroom environment:

- Group of 4-5 students per table

- Groups assigned by instructor (every two weeks) with specific responsibilities for two students per group

- Excel activities shared among group members via table monitors

- Weekly online readings and quizzes sequences with embedded multiple-choice questions for self-assessment

- Over 50 Excel files (in-class group activities, homework assignments, and suggested solutions)

- A real-world semester group project with formal student presentations in front of corporate representatives

Learning assessments embedded in course activities:

- Optional qualitative Excel learning feedback from instructor offered within 12 hours of end of each class session

- Growth in group collaboration through continuous self-assessment via qualitative peer evaluation and instructor’s feedback using the CATME platform

Corporate partnership:

- One-week long workshop held by corporate partners every semester, in the classroom

- Emphasis on discounted cash flow modeling, speed in Excel modeling, and sensitivity analyses.

- Networking opportunity

- Corporate partners’ feedback to instructor influences curriculum changes for subsequent semesters

Excel accessibility (in progress):

- Design of accessibility requirement templates for course Excel content

- Design of a standard method to achieve accessibility in Excel content

- Testing of level of accessibility (in collaboration with RCPD)

- Implementation of method to course content

- Target completion date: Fall 2020

Course management platform

Use of Loncapa capabilities to:

- implement and monitor online self-assessment
