目的-本文旨在提供有关2019冠状病毒病中断期间学生参与会计学习以及转向在线学习的见解。设计/方法/方法-本文基于新西兰两所大型大学教授会计论文的学术人员的反思。进一步的支持信息来自通过论文评估收集的学生反馈。研究结果-本文的研究结果表明，在吸引学生在线学习会计方面，有一些成功和许多挑战。似乎效果良好的策略包括使用同步和异步渠道，在在线学习中主动促进和为学生提供学习支持。这些挑战包括对在线技术的失望，以及与学生建立个人联系的困难；因此，让一些学生参与学习被证明是困难的。有风险的是，由于缺乏适当的计算机设备、连接问题、家庭责任或家庭环境等问题，学生不太可能参与在线直播课程。实际意义-本文有可能为高等教育机构、教师和其他利益相关者（如支持人员）提供信息和加强实践，以实施可实现更多学生参与在线学习的策略。原创性/价值-本文具有原创性，有助于与学术界分享在COVID-19转向在线交付期间使用的有效教学实践的想法，这可以提高学生对商业教育的参与度。
Purpose - This paper aims to provide insights on student engagement in the learning of accounting during the COVID-19 disruptions and the pivot to online learning.Design/methodology/approach - This paper is based on reflections of academic staff members teaching accounting papers at two large New Zealand universities. Further supporting information was derived fromstudent feedback collected via paper appraisals.Findings - The findings of this paper suggest that there were some successes and numerous challenges in engaging students in online learning of accounting. Strategies that seem to have worked well include the use of synchronous and asynchronous channels to proactively facilitate and provide learning support to students in online learning. The challenges include frustrations with online technologies and the difficulties of making personal connections with students; therefore, engaging some of the cohort in the learning proved to be difficult. At risk, students were less likely to participate in online live sessions due to issues such as the lack of proper computer equipment, connectivity issues, family responsibilities or the home environment.Practical implications - This paper has the potential to inform and enhance practices of higher education institutions, instructors and other stakeholders such as support staff on strategies that could be implemented to achieve greater student engagement in online learning.Originality/value - This paper is original and contributes towards sharing ideas with the academic community on effective teaching practices used during the COVID-19 pivot to online delivery, which can enhance student engagement in business education.
