For instructors

Hands-on accounting practice your students can start today

Every exercise runs in the browser and is checked by code the moment a student submits it. New numbers every time, so practice never runs out and answers can't be copied from a classmate.

What your students get

• Practice that checks itself. Spreadsheet tasks run in a real formula engine and are graded on the values they produce. Journal entries, statements and reconciliations are generated from rules, so the right answer is known for certain. Nothing is graded by opinion, a person or an AI.
• Teaching before testing. Each lesson opens with the idea in plain words and a worked example on real numbers. Hints go from gentle to specific, and "Walk me through it" takes a stuck student through their own version one step at a time, instead of sending them off to search for the answer.
• Feedback on the actual mistake. When an answer matches a common mistake (debits and credits reversed, a deposit in transit subtracted, a range that stops a row short), the feedback names it.
• Unlimited versions. "New numbers" gives the same task with a different company and different amounts. A student is fluent in an exercise after solving two versions on the first try, without hints.

Students can try 3 exercises free with no sign-up; a plan opens the rest.

What you get

• Topic maps. The Principles of Accounting map groups the bookkeeping and payroll lessons under the topics a first financial accounting course covers, in the usual order. The MO-220 practice map lists the Excel for Accounting lessons objective by objective. Topic names are generic and not tied to any textbook.
• Teaching notes for every lesson. What students do, about how long it takes, the mistakes the exercises catch, a way to demo it in class and what to assign.
• Printable worksheets. Any exercise as a paper worksheet, and a class set where each copy has different numbers. Approved instructors can print the answer key with them.

Request instructor access

Answer keys are for instructors only, so we check each request by hand. Tell us where you teach and, if you can, link a page that shows it, such as a staff or course page. We usually reply within two working days.

Using it with a class

1. Pick the lessons for the week from a map, and read their teaching notes.
2. In class, open a lesson's free exercise, show Learn it, and solve one version together.
3. Assign the lesson: each exercise solved, and ideally fluent. Students can show you their Progress page.
4. For a quiz, print a class set of worksheets with different numbers on each copy, and mark them with the answer key.

Class codes, where you see every student's progress in one place, are planned.
