CIT143 introduces students to the basic concepts and principles of data organisation and management in different contexts and information systems.
The course covers the relationship between data, information, and knowledge, as well as the different methods used to collect, organise, store, manage, protect, retrieve, and analyse data.
The course is particularly important because data management is a fundamental activity in modern information systems. Students are introduced to the practical application of data organisation and management principles in different areas, including human, documentary, and computerised information systems.
The course also includes practical exercises involving computer software, particularly Microsoft Access, to help students understand how databases and data tables are created, managed, and updated.
