UNDER DEVELOPMENT The database activity module enables participants to create, maintain and search a collection of entries (i.e. records). The structure of the entries is defined by the teacher as a number of fields. Field types include checkbox, radio buttons, dropdown menu, text area, URL, picture and uploaded file.
The visual layout of information when listing, viewing or editing database entries may be controlled by database templates. Database activities may be shared between courses as presets and a teacher may also import and export database entries.
If the database auto-linking filter is enabled, any entries in a database will be automatically linked where the words or phrases appear within the course.
A teacher can allow comments on entries. Entries can also be rated by teachers or students (peer evaluation). Ratings can be aggregated to form a final grade which is recorded in the gradebook.
Database activities have many uses, such as
A collaborative collection of web links, books, book reviews, journal references etc
A NOTE about "BADGES" - at the moment is 'feature' is enabled throughout the site. I am still looking for a way to 'change the wording' in the badges block to say something like "Coming Soon" ... The concept of badges has been around for ages but is really gaining traction ... BUT creating 'badges' takes time (decide on what and when given, find images, modify etc to create 'badge' (basically a pic) - then the uploading and linking to courses activities etc ... ) BUT I do believe it is a worthwhile activity and can really help in engagement and 'fun' - will have to decide IF want to create badges and use the feature OR simply not enable it and then it will not show (It can be re-enabled later)
