Abstract

Following the shift towards online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic, accounting educators have faced the difficult challenge of adapting their course delivery to an online environment. The purpose of this chapter is to offer a testimonial from two postgraduate accounting courses that heavily rely on cooperative learning and covers their transition towards a distance education approach. The authors explore the challenges students have faced when taking part in group assignments in the online environment, focusing on both quantitative and qualitative analysis of their overall experience. The findings discussed in this chapter are meant to serve as a base for future studies on the topic of post-pandemic online education and cooperative learning in the accounting field.
