Database enables participants to create, maintain, and search a collection of entries.

The structure of the entries is defined using different types of fields, such as short text, dropdown list, text area, URL, image, or file.

As a teacher, you can comment and rate entries. You can also allow students to rate and comment on entries (peer evaluation). Ratings can be aggregated to form a final grade, which is recorded in the gradebook.

If the Database auto-linking filter is enabled, any entries in a database will be automatically linked where the words or phrases appear within the course.

You can use Database to:

* Create a collaborative collection of links, books, book reviews, journal references, etc.
* Display student-created photos, posters, websites or poems for peer comment and review.
