Alert!

Hello there!

There are actually two major things that I need to enlighten you in this post. However, I was absent for last week's class when the lecture is about computer and network security. So I just read through this website which has covered beyond the lecture I've missed.

Therefore, let me explain what I've got from the last topic of our syllabus. :)

ETHICAL, SOCIAL, AND LEGAL ISSUE

How can you guarantee your work won't be used or credited by others? You know that sekarang is zaman saman menyaman. So you better learn your rights.


So, we are learning a little bit on IP (Intellectual Properties) Rights here. 

First, Copyrights is used to protect literary works, music, books, softwares and so many more.


According to Copyright Act 1987, to protect your things, you've got to have your things in in physical form. These are the conditions to be copyrighted
- original
- in a material form
- author is qualified person and the work is first published
- digital watermarks
- fair use for limited duplication


Besides that, one has to be aware of these laws in order to keep one's work from being copied by others.

Trademarks
- a word, pharse, symbol that identifies one product or service
- R is registered
- TM is not registered
- SM for sevice (rarely found)

Patents
- protects inventions from being copied
- Patents Act 1983
- need to ask, cannot claim its our patent (difficult, expensive, time consuming to obtain)
- not necessary a product. it could be a process ( chemical process patent)
- SIRIM approve
- eg : kotak susu


Ethics
- Ethical use of copyrighted material


Geographical Indications
Layout Design of Intergrated Circuit




Digital Signature Act 1997
- in letters


Computer Crime Act 1997
- misuse of computers


This is again, a brief explanation and notes that I've jotted down during the lecture. :)

HTML : short one

Topic : HTML (Hyper Text Markup Protocol)


is a kind of programming language used to tag various parts of a web document so that browser know what to display.


Examples


<p> to indicate the start of a pharagraph


</p> indicate the end of pharagraph


sometimes comes in pair, sometimes not


allows non-linear information system


HTML file - a text file contains small markup tags-shows what web browser will present




Basic elements

• start with a document type declaration (DCD)

• angle brackets (<>) are must because with them then only it can be read by system

• tag names  - indicates formating for a word, sentence etc

• attributes - for colours, font, font size

• structure - title, subheading etc

• hypertext

Well...Well...HTML is no joke..Only experts can do more and play with the coding. But you sure can try with html coding on this website- www.w3schools.com/html

Mr. Web

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera.. :)


Since technology is developing very fast, teachers need to know how to benefit from this development. One of the ways is using internet applications during teaching and learning.


The basic concept of web based learning is learning via Internet.


Basically, web-based learning creates interactivity.
eg:

• IPTV- Tv through internet
• blog comes from web log
• social networking sites - a group of community create groups
• hot potato

Teacher uses for:


1. Instruction - create tests, puzzles, worksheets (hot potato)
find/adapt lesson plan = facilitate online projects - facilitates web quests - web based application software


2. Communication
create web sites, share photos, blogs wiki podcasts(audio can be uploaded), email discussion, online publications, tutorials


3. Research & Development (R&D)
information resources, online publications, tutorials.


Students use to: 


communicate using some of these- keypals (keyboard), blogs, wikis, podcasts, talk to experts, and create web sites.


problem-based learning like real-time projects, simulations, or collaborative projects. 


In conclusion, there are thousands of applications that we can use through web. These will help teaching and learning process to be so much fun! 




p/s : we did a presentation on Hot Potato and Digg applications which can help in teaching and learning process. :)
