Bonnie Klamm, professor of accounting, co-wrote a paper that recently won the 2014 Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance Instructional Award.

The award is given to outstanding submissions of material for delivering Microsoft Dynamics-oriented instruction in higher education classrooms. It was presented as part of the 2014 Worldwide Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance Preconference March 2-3 in Atlanta.

The paper, titled “Enterprise System Case Using Microsoft Dynamics GP via myGPcloud,” is a case study using a cloud-provider for access to an enterprise system, providing a comprehensive set of exercises to students and a complete set of materials to support adoption by instructors. The case offers students an active-learning experience.

“After completing the case, students report outcomes of increases in accounting information system knowledge, system navigation skills and the ability to learn on their own,” Klamm said.

Co-writers included Marcia Watson, associate professor of accountancy at Mississippi State University; Joann Segovia, associate professor of accounting at Winona State University; and Mark Lehman, lecturer at Mississippi State University.
