TEACHING TIPS
New to this edition:
This edition will provide students an opportunity to learn QuickBooks Online while they learn
accounting. Chapters 1–5 will introduce QuickBooks Online using the journal entry method, and
Chapters 9–12 will introduce the forms-based approach. QuickBooks Online features include:
Accounting with QuickBooks Online and Review It with QuickBooks Online. At the end of
Chapter 12, students will have the opportunity to complete a comprehensive problem under
Try It with QuickBooks Online.
Unlike QuickBooks Desktop software, QuickBooks Online involves automatic updates. This means
the "look and feel" of QuickBooks Online may change from time to time. Most of the updates
will be minor and students can use the Intuit weblink (www.qbo.intuit.com) to review the most
recent releases. However, sometimes there may be major QuickBooks Online updates deployed.
Therefore, this text will utilize the Cengage Learning companion site at CengageBrain.com for the
QuickBooks Online Appendix, which includes Accounting with QuickBooks Online (a step-by-step
guide to using QuickBooks Online) Review It with QuickBooks Online, and Try it with QuickBooks
activities. The QuickBooks Online Appendix will be listed by chapter, similar to the text. Students
can get started with QuickBooks Online by going to the Cengage Learning student companion
site at CengageBrain.com.
