UKZN - Database Management Resources

Below are learning resources designed to support the UKZN Database Management course (ISTN3ND). The idea of these resources is to encourage you to learn through active engagement, and as such these resources should be used as part of a course. The various videos and quizzes are designed to engage you in the learning process so be prepared to participate. It's in ACTIVITY that learning happens. If a quiz link does not work, as they expire, please let me know and I will reset it.

your added learning convenience you can find all the slides that were used in the online lessons at this link. Also, if you would like to rewatch any of the lessons (this is the big benefit of digital) you can see them all here on YouTube.
