Database Design

Difference between version 15 and version 14:

Line 15 was replaced by line 15
- The components of the FIRST Data System are shown in Figure 1, which shows the use of the Assess tool by a faculty member to import assessment data into the FIRST database. Once a collection of assessment data are available, faculty can look at their assessment data to evaluate historical trends, analyze the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques and strategies, or compare the performance of different teaching and assessment techniques. These analyses are enabled through a web-based portal that allows researchers to discover and download assessment data from their own courses as well as from those of other courses in their own university and across institutions.
