Teaching Database Concepts using Spatial Data Types

Richard Dargie, Aaron Steele

Abstract

In this paper a process for incorporating core GIS principles into a database development course for level 6 students currently undertaking the Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology degree is described. This paper builds upon previous research and provides a description of how GIS principles were integrated into an existing database development curriculum as well as a set of practical instructions which were developed that utilised GIS and spatial data to enhance the teaching and learning of SQL and database concepts. Initial feedback from students indicates that the immediate visual feedback provided by the spatial data is viewed as beneficial.
