Peachtree Learning Center
Our Peachtree Learning Center is a resource that is specifically designed to help accounting students learn how to use the
Peachtree Complete Accounting software. Since the Learning Center is available online, your students can
access our extensive learning resources at any time to learn the software at their own pace.
The Peachtree Learning Center offers students:
- video tutorials
- numerous screen illustrations and
- detailed step-by-step instructions
explaining key software features so that students do not feel intimidated or overwhelmed if they have never used accounting software before.
Integrated with Perdisco's Peachtree practice set
Perdisco’s authors and instructional team have specially designed the Peachtree Learning Center as a fully
integrated learning resource for our Peachtree practice set. As well as being openly available outside our
practice set, the Learning Center is built into the practice set itself. This means your students will be able to
access the Learning Center from within their practice set as and when they require the support that it affords.
Further, since the same authoring team (of academic, instructional, editorial, and IT experts) worked together
to create the practice set, the Learning Center and the VirtualTutor’s AutoGrading algorithms, the
instructional design of the unified resources extends deeply into every aspect of their coordinated operations.
For example, where a concept within the practice set is taught directly in the Learning Center it is graded with
fewer points (because it is deemed to be easier) than similar concepts within the practice set that have been
designed to extend the teaching material provided within the Learning Center.
Helpful, but students cannot use it to cheat
This design approach, coupled with our AntiCheat technology, encourages active learning because students
cannot merely use the Learning Center to answer their practice set. Instead, students must engage with
applying the Learning Center to the real-world situations presented within the practice set and the best
students will identify (and be rewarded for identifying) some of the subtle nuances and complexities genuinely
faced by real-world accountants who must use the Peachtree software to achieve value-added financial
accounting outcomes for their employers and clients.
How much does it cost? Absolutely nothing!
Perdisco is proud to make our Peachtree Learning Center openly and freely
available on the internet for everyone and anyone to use at anytime. While we feel it is most powerfully used
in conjunction with our integrated VirtualTutor Peachtree practice set, our Learning Center nevertheless
stands alone as a value-added teaching and learning resource for Peachtree by Sage Complete Accounting.
Please tell others about this fantastic free learning resource. If you or any of your teaching colleagues want to
use our Learning Centre to teach Peachtree without any obligation to use our practice set – please do so! We
created the Learning Center for the teaching community and want it to be used.
