The teaching of databases is central to all Computing Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems and Information Technology courses. For the previous seven years, TLAD workshops have brought together those teaching database modules in order to share good learning, teaching and assessment practice and to explore which methods are appropriate to database modules.
The eighth workshop will be held at the University of Abertay in Dundee and this year the workshop will concentrate on novel teaching and assessment approaches for database and database related modules, as well as covering other issues related to the teaching, learning and assessment of databases.
This workshop is organised through the Higher Education Academy.
