Ideas in Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Databases: A Communication of the 7thInternational Workshop on Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Databases (TLAD 2009)

This paper is a record of the Seventh International Workshop on the Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Databases (TLAD 2009). Based on the contributions received, the paper describes the efforts that academics based in the UK and elsewhere around the world have made towards finding and disseminating new and interesting ways to enhance the teaching and learning of the database subject area. This year most of the submissions centred around the following areas: issues in teaching for databases and how to resolve these; methods for teaching enterprise systems development and the relevance of databases; interactive and collaborative learning support environments; and tools to aid learning in the database area.
