Database
A database is a collection of information that is
organized so that it can be accessed, managed, and
updated easily
(http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/definition/databa
se).
A database is a data structure that saves organized
information. Most databases contain multiple tables,
which may each include several different fields. Each of
these tables would have different fields that are
relevant to the information saved in the table.
Database applications are software programs designed
to collect, manage and disseminate information
efficiently (techterms.com 20012b).

lectronic Presentation
Electronic presentation is a computer application that
delivers textual and visual information that can be
integrated with other multimedia elements such as
audio, video, animation. According to Gregory (2012),
electronic presentation is "A computer-generated
program capable of communication, text, drawings,
photos, video, and audio." It usually displays the
information in a presentation display. It is also able to
provide a link (hyperlink) to external sources of
information such as images, documents, spreadsheets,
video, audio and websites. Electronic presentation can
enrich viewers' reference sources to obtain appropriate
information about the topic or concept described by the
presenter.
b. Contrast
The contrast of colors used in the display should result
in the main message appear more prominent (Jones,
2005; Smaldino, 2012). Using a dark background and
bright colored text also would produce good contrast
(Clark, 2004). In Figure 11.3.6, the first line shows a
combination of background and text colors that create
contrast while the second line shows color
combinations that should be avoided.
c. Emphasis
The use of a larger font size or larger objects, and
contrasting colors may highlight the main subject or
idea. In Figure 11.3.7, the use of a large font size and
color contrast in the display A is more effective in
attracting the attention of the viewer to the main idea
compared to display B.
d. Space
Use a lot of empty space around the subject or the
main idea so that it can attract the attention of the
audience. In Figure 11.3.8, Display A is compact
display with a lot text while display B has more space
between the texts. The design of Display B facilitates
viewers to read and understand the text.
e. Focus
Each display should focus on the main concept only. In
Figure 11.3.9, Display A focuses on several concepts
while Display B focuses on one concept only. Display B
facilitates viewers to read and understand the text.
