Accounting tele teaching lectures: issues of interaction and performance

This paper provides empirical evidence on two aspects related to using tele teaching to deliver accounting lectures. The first issue examines student opinion on whether tele teaching lectures provide educational interactions between the learner and the instructor similar to face-to-face teaching. The second issue examines the subject performance of students who were tele taught against a similar group that were lectured face-to-face. Results showed that students viewed the tele taught lectures as lacking in learner-instructor interactions however the performance differences were not significant.
