Today was spent studying more features of access and getting used to its UI. The first thing I worked on was getting combo boxes to update subcategories found on the form targeted. I got this working and moved into the more visual than the technical side of the program and how I can make my databases easier to navigate for the person who is accessing and updating data. One way was to make the program pop open new windows rather than switching between them at run time. Other features I discovered were simple such as colour changes and styles. After this, I worked more on my super learner course where I discovered a previously ignored topic of speed reading. Up until now in the course, the material focused on how our memory works rather than applying it to the reading field. The idea of Schultz tables was given, a game that helps you read using peripheral visual rather than sliding your eyes across the page due to the technicality that our brain does not receive data from our eyes while they are moving, the brain simply patches images together from when the eyes were stationary. Mastering this skill of peripheral reading largely increases reading speed, due to one of the main reasons for taking this course being increasing reading speed, I will practice this game for a minimum of 10 mins a day.
