a. Students will complete multiple choice and true/false questions relating to database basics (i.e. concepts relating to a database).
b. After each lesson, students will be provided practice exercises that will give them hands-on experience writing SQL.
c. Provide students with a step by step quick start instructional video on using Microsoft Access to run SQL queries.
d. Using Fuze Meeting, students will have the opportunity to schedule synchronous online sessions with the instructor to review areas or practice exercises they are having trouble with. In these sessions, students will be able to experience synchronous desktop sharing, and collaborate with the instructor via whiteboard.
e. Provide a link and video for students to watch about unique ways in which data can be used (e.g. to create art or for data visualization).
f. Group Treasure Hunt game. Students will be put into groups of 2-3 and each group will be given access to a database with several tables. Each group will be given 15 questions which they will use in the treasure hunt as clues to find specific data by writing and running SQL.
g. Students will work in groups of 2-3, collaboratively, to create a comprehensive final report based on data retrieved from real-world sample data, which will be provided by the instructor.
h. Each group will create a Prezi or PowerPoint presentation of their comprehensive report and post/email a link to it so that their peers can review, provide feedback, and ask questions.
