They will also learn how to query multiple tables for data that is used in customized forms and reports. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-Normalize sample tables by identifying design problems.
-Establish relationships between tables by analyzing table relationships and enforcing referential integrity.
-Customize table designs by setting field properties to maintain data integrity and creating indexes.
-Design select queries by using multiple tables to calculate, group, average, and link values and to show top values.
-Customize form designs by creating calculated fields, combo boxes, and unbound controls.
-Interact with data through a browser by creating and using data Access pages.
-Customize report designs by grouping, sorting, and summarizing data, and by adding subreports.

This class will survey visual software geared towards the creation of new forms or narrative. In the age of YouTube it has become possible to tell a story with a very small budget, but this does not mean that the final product necessarily lacks quality. In this class students will learn how to tell a story from beginning to end using visual-editor programs and other visual software. Students will obtain their audiovisual materials not only form camcorders but from a wide range of sources, such as still images from cameras, web cams, or scanned objects, thus learning different ways of creating moving images. The production of a film from scratch will demand an effort to come up with creative solutions in order to articulate the story, trying to make the best of available resources. Students will receive instruction on the fundamentals of film narrative so that they become able to communicate a story and take their first steps into video creation.
