Student Class Schedules

Day 116 of My Italian Learning Journal*

_____________________

The theme for today's post is the "database," a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed and updated. In reality, what is often referred to as a "database" is actually a"desktop application."  What I use is a browser-based web application. This morning I worked on our school's student data management service to ensure that all of our students had correct class schedules for the Spring Semester. Although I have been doing this sort of work for many years I am still amazed at how these systems function. A couple of decades ago a department such as mine used a chart on a 4-foot x 8-foot board to keep the tally of class sizes, and now the information is maintained "in the cloud."
