Abstract

According to Holcomb and Michaelsen (1996), the goal of education technology (ET) in any discipline is to improve education. In taxation, educational technology can be useful in creating a visualization of the transaction allowing students a better understanding of the tax consequences for all parties involved. Students need a visual picture of what they are studying (Holcomb & Michaelsen, 1996) and that is even more important for the 21st century learner. This essay will diagnose an educational problem specific to taxation courses offered via a distance learning format, determine a solution, and discuss how an innovative educational technology can solve the problem.
