Recent upgrades to an animated database courseware (ADbC)

This poster will present recent enhancements to the Animated Database Courseware (ADbC), formerly called KDC, to help students understand the fundamentals of database concepts and technologies. The software has gone through a major re-structure of the menu system with the redesign of many modules, and the addition of additional modules as well as the planning for modules based on advanced concepts. As it is difficult to communicate breadth and depth of concepts in a single database course, these animations are intended to support more in-depth student learning. The animations were developed to complement (not substitute for) introductory database textbook or DBMS products. The software is independent of any book or software and is designed to be fairly intuitive with a very low learning curve for faculty. Furthermore, the software is available at no cost at and has been made freely available at http://adbc.kennesaw.edu. The work is the result of an NSF funded project (#0717707).
