Abstract: Due to the ever-changing nature of information and communication technologies, there is a constant demand and expectation for universities to incorporate increasing levels of technology into the design and delivery of their curriculum.From an academic perspective, it is of significant interest to determine whether the increased use and availability of online teaching resources have made a positive impact on students' academic performance and whether this is reflected in improved learning outcomes.This paper reports on the preliminary findings from a survey of firstyear accounting students to gauge their attitudes towards e-learning and their perceptions of the effectiveness of online options in assisting their learning in an introductory accounting subject.The impact of the online options and the effect on learning outcomes is also examined.Analysis of the results will help identify the aspects of e-learning that are most useful in supporting student learning and the review of student feedback will provide guidance for further enhancement to the design and delivery of e-learning content in this subject.
