Draft

This article or section is currently under construction

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

The goal of this (future) article is threefold (for now):

  • List some useful Wikipedia resources on general database issues
  • Point to other articles in this Wiki
  • Show where in educational technology various kinds of databases are being used
