Modernization of Interactive Accounting Simulation Models with JavaScript Engine

The client relies on legacy interactive models used in certified accounting courses to demonstrate complex money flow processes. These models, originally built using outdated technology, are heavily hardcoded and each exists as a separate entity, making updates and maintenance costly and time-consuming. With the discontinuation of support for the underlying technology, the models risk becoming obsolete, hindering effective teaching and learner engagement.

A professional educational institution specializing in development and delivery of accounting courses, seeking to update and enhance their interactive learning models to ensure technical relevance and improved user engagement.

• Redesign and develop scalable, web-based interactive accounting models that are easy to update and maintain.
• Implement a robust JavaScript engine to power all models, enabling efficient rebuilding and updates at lower costs.
• Create a user-friendly, scalable, and responsive UI/UX design that improves student and instructor engagement.
• Ensure compatibility for embedding across various platforms and responsiveness for different devices.
• Facilitate easy updates to formulas and calculations in response to changes in the accounting or tax system, such as regulatory updates.
• Complete the initial development within a 6-month timeframe, delivering quick iteration cycles based on testing feedback.

• A JavaScript engine capable of executing complex financial calculations defined in JSON format.
• Ability for users (educators and students) to interact with models in real time with responsive updates.
• Editable formula engine allowing quick adjustments to calculations based on changing accounting standards or tax rules.
• Templates for creating various accounting models based on a core scalable structure.
• Responsive web design ensuring models are accessible and functional across devices and platforms.
• An easy-to-use interface prioritizing clarity, simplicity, and visual engagement for effective learning.
• Support for embedding models into different web pages or learning management systems.

• Integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS) for embedding educational models
• Connection to external datasets or APIs for real-time tax or regulatory updates, if applicable

• Models must load and respond within 2 seconds for optimal user experience
• Scalable architecture to support increasing number of concurrent users
• Ensure secure handling of any user data or customizable formulas
• Compatibility with modern browsers and devices to ensure broad accessibility

The updated, JavaScript-powered interactive accounting models will be sharp, lightweight, and easily embeddable across multiple platforms, eliminating compatibility issues and ensuring scalability and responsiveness. This will significantly reduce maintenance costs, enable quick updates aligned with regulatory changes, and enhance learner engagement, ultimately leading to improved comprehension of complex financial processes and a more effective educational experience.
