From Blackboard to Green Screen: Delivering a Semester of In-Depth Database Lectures via YouTube
1Department of Computer Science, Database Systems Research Group, University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany.
Two advanced database courses were converted to a remote, digital format using YouTube and live coding techniques. This approach enhanced student interaction with database systems and explored SQL as a programming language.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science Education
- Database Systems
- Digital Learning
Background:
- Traditional lecture-hall courses face challenges in remote adaptation.
- The live coding community offers innovative pedagogical approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To convert advanced database courses into an all-digital remote format.
- To explore the effectiveness of live coding video styles in database education.
- To investigate SQL as a programming language for database computation.
Main Methods:
- Transitioned two advanced database courses to a remote, YouTube-delivered format.
- Adopted a live coding video style for enhanced interaction.
- Developed SQL probe queries to reveal database internals.
Main Results:
- Successfully delivered advanced database courses in a fully digital, remote setting.
- Introduced novel pedagogical methods focusing on live interaction with database systems.
- Facilitated a deeper understanding of SQL's capabilities beyond traditional querying.
Conclusions:
- The live coding approach is effective for remote database education.
- SQL can be effectively taught and utilized as a programming language.
- Shared resources (videos, slides, code) support wider adoption of these methods.
