Web databases; research, teaching and learning; on-line education
Academics in higher education are obligated to pay attention to the client's wants, and where achievable, change the way they deliver education to meet these wants. Web database applications have traditionally been used for administrative tasks. This paper outlines another side to Web database applications - the non-administrative side of an academic's work. The side that involves research, teaching and learning. The paper describes several non-related Web database tools that have been developed to assist in research, in the collection and retrieving data; as a teaching tool for the organisation of a subject's content; and as a learning tool for the student to customise the pathway in which they wish to progress through a subject.
