Abstract



The need to minimize the difficulties faced by accounting lecturers when choosing digital tools for instruction necessitated the study, to identify the emerging technologies that could be used for onlineteaching and learning of accounting. Descriptive survey research design was used. The population of the study consisted of 116 accounting lecturers from public tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Census sampling was done as the whole population was studied. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire which was validated by three experts. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was obtained using Crobach Alphas method and the reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using percentage, frequency distribution and chi-square. Percentage and frequency distribution were used to answer the research question, while the Chi-square test of association was used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that the respondents identified the emerging technologies for onlineteaching and learning of accounting to include; mobile learning devices, powerpoint videos, zoom, youtube, linkedin, google form, zipbooks, cogbooks, among others. Also, the findings revealed that there was no significant association in the respondents ratings on emerging technologies for onlineteaching and learning of accounting as a result of gender. It was recommended among others that, administrators of higher institutions should ensure availability and accessibility of the identified emerging technologies for onlineteaching and learning of accounting.
