Abstract

Database Systems is a core discipline in undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering programs. The discipline includes learning a large range of different theoretical and practical topics such as data modeling, database design or SQL. Studies have identified that students find the topic complex and have difficulties in learning such topics in traditional face-to-face setting. This article presents state-of-the-art tools that are found in the literature and how they could be used to overcome some of the existing difficulties.
