The Accounting Education Series monograph (Albrecht and Sack 2001) is only the most recent call for changes in accounting education. The authors emphasize that the current model of accounting education is broken; as illustrated by the following characteristics: It involves too much lecture, dependence on textbooks, is too bound by class time, and maintains a "faculty knows best" attitude; It lacks creativity, does not develop students' ability to learn new skills, and does not exploit modern technology (Albrecht and Sack 2001).
