Abstract: This study examines the effect of using an application of a computer-assisted teaching tool in enhancing the dissemination of knowledge to students in improving their understanding and performance of a course. This study was conducted on undergraduate students who sat for an advanced financial accounting course. The teaching tool known as Freemind was introduced in the class with the aim to mitigate the possibility of knowledge dissemination breakdown due to the reduction of meeting hours of this course from 4 to 3 hours and application of a mass lecture of over 90 students. Based on 160 students as the sample study, this study shows a significant increase in the results of the students when Freemind was adopted as the teaching tool compared to those students who were taught using PowerPoint. This study provides some evidences that students’ performance in advanced financial accounting could be improved with the assistance of Freemind.
