To fulfill this, in the College in the major of Accounting and Accounting Education curriculum, there are courses called accounting information systems (AIS), Computer Accounting and Introduction to Computer Accounting. This course, if traced back to its origin as mentioned above, is actually one of the very strategic courses. Why is it called very strategic value, because it is closely related to the development of information technology and the demands of the work world that are increasingly here becoming borderless? The teaching curriculum can be very different between each university depending on who and how the subject is coordinated. So that by using information technology learning instruments in the field of accounting developed by Wilis (2016), this study aims to examine a model of how to teach these courses in accounting education by incorporating the practice of using MS Excel in lecture meetings besides emphasizing the use of MS Visio.
