What’s new from MyEducator this fall? We are always working on publishing new online learning resources and updating older resources to include new technology and research. While you may be enjoying time off from teaching during the summer, now is a great time to update your learning resources to be prepared for the road ahead.
Major Themes for Fall 2024
We’ve noticed three major areas of focus for this upcoming school year:
- Applications of Excel for business. MyEducator’s Excel add-in is a powerful way to teach Excel skills in the live Excel environment in a variety of different disciples, and students find that Excel is essential for business professionals.
- Responsible use of artificial intelligence tools. AI has immense potential to change the way we learn and work, and it is important to develop ways to use AI ethically.
- Approaching sustainability and ESG from a business perspective. Minor updates to various learning resources reflect a heightened focus on corporate responsibility.
New Learning Resources for Fall 2024
With these three themes in mind, let’s take a look at what’s new for fall 2024:
1. Financial Accounting Practice Sets with Excel
Financial Accounting Practice Sets with Excel is designed using the MyEducator Excel add-in for instant auto-grading with detailed feedback for students. It provides an overview of highly valuable Excel skills for financial accounting functions and follows with practice sets for hands-on application. From accounting basics to transaction analysis, students will gain practical experience with Excel for financial accounting functions.
A companion resource featuring Managerial Accounting Practice Sets with Excel is currently in development.
2. Excel Case Studies
The Excel Case Studies resource may be used as a module or a supplement to a course using Excel. These case studies can be used for additional practice, homework, or exam questions.

The table of contents lists the individual assessments by discipline, business, Excel competency, and coverage.
