Prof Stephen Coetzee (Department of Accounting)
The use of messaging apps as a learning tool may enhance student learning, engagement, motivation and interest, and also present possibilities for collaborative learning and quicker responses to FAQs in a large class environment. The aim of this intervention used in FRK 201 was for students to actively learn, independently construct their own knowledge through interaction with each other and the bots, to reflect and think more critically and read more attentively, while growing as independent thinkers and lifelong learners.

Prof Natasja Holtzhausen (School of Public Management & Administration)
Public Practices (PBP) 320 is a unique community engagement module, which provides third-year students with a platform to share what they have learnt during their three years of study with various members of the community. Through this module and the associated video feedback, students have learnt that community engagement is about an individual looking beyond themselves and empowering others to make their lives better.

Prof Kato Plant (Department of Auditing)
The Department of Auditing adapted its postgraduate Internal Auditing Honours programme to include a year module, named Internal Financial Control (IOK 704), which follows an integrated business process approach rather than a silo audit approach. The module integrates financial accounting, management accounting and financial management principles into the internal audit process. Prof Plant introduced this unique approach, which was the first step towards an integrated audit module.

Ms Astrid Schmulian (Department of Accounting)
The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IF-AT) entails the use of a student-centred multiple-choice answer card, similar to a lottery scratch card, in group assessments. Students scratch off the coating on their preferred response after team consultation, and immediate feedback is then provided to them. This method proved to be most successful and was used for two team assessments in FRK 201 during 2017. It supports the development of the highly essential group work pervasive skill in the CA programme.
