have taken place during the last few years. However, discussion of data has to go beyond traditional databases and include such important topics as design and implementation of data for exchange between applications and for presenting knowledge about particular business areas, as well as data models and technologies used for these purposes. Just adding these issues to curricula of the database programs makes it difficult to provide systematic coverage of data technologies. The paper suggests transforming database curricula into data curricula that will allow for developing a more consistent view of today’s data technologies and better teaching approaches, and will provide the possibility for easier upgrading of data programs in

. This form of software instruction has been used successfully at theauthor's university to train large groups of students (as many as 1,000 at once).2. IntroductionUse of video-based training over the Internet is nothing new [1]. The only major hurdle is the workcreating the video materials. In our case we used the very popular Camtasia Studio from Techsmith [2]to capture video and audio of ourselves demonstrating the software. The majority of time is not takenup with recording, but rather with scripting the lessons (at least 100 hours scripting per recorded hour).One of the author's first experiences with video-based training was the creation of a home-grownvideo-based course on Mathcad. It was designed to solve the problem of teaching Mathcad
