There are four laws of intellectual propertyrights;

Copyright law: control the purity of one's work;

Patent law: control new discoveries and theprocess of discovery;

Trademark law: control word, name, symbol, usedby operators engaged in manufacturing to

identify products and services; Trade secret law: Control information that is not

generally known but kept secret by the owner.


5/24

Among controlled under copyright law are

literary, musical, artistic works, films, sound

recordings, broadcasts and publications.

Copyright sign contains three important

elements: the symbol or the word "Copyright"

or "All Rights Reserved", the first year of

publication, and the name of the copyrightowner.

Ways to get the materials for the developmentof multimedia software without violatingcopyright are:

Obtain the right to use material that hascopyright;

Using materials that do not have the exactcopyright status or public domain material;

Build or create the material by oneself;

Obtain contract or agreement for the use of theoriginal material.

Safety

In education, more emphasis is given on safetyaspects.

It is the responsibility of school administrators toprovide a safe learning environment.

Teachers play an important role in supporting thewelfare and safety of students, when teachingand learning takes place in the computer labs andtechnology rooms.

Adherence to safety rules while in the labs andtechnology rooms must be practiced andobserved by each user.


8/24

Since each room and computer lab are equippedwith the available technology and electrical andelectronic equipment, personal safety andsecurity aspects of the laboratory equipment and

the room needs to be preserved. Computer hardware, such as monitor, keyboard,

mouse, audio system unit, printer, overheadprojector etc. should be treated with care.

Similarly, the hardware technology such astelevisions, audio systems, video recorders arehave to be cared for and maintained.


9/24

When using computers and technology withhigh voltage electricity, safety precautionsshould be taken during the use in order to

avoid the risk of electric shock. Thus, the frequency of maintenance of

computer equipment should be done,especially the cables.

Possibility of short circuiting could cause fire,thus will damage computer equipment.


10/24

Data security in the computer should be taken

care by backing up data in the hard disk,

floppy disks or other secondary storage

devices.

The aim is to secure a copy of the original file

if the original files are corrupted or damaged

by viruses.


11/24

Several studies have shown that continuous use ofcomputers can cause health related disturbances suchas headaches, muscle tension and bone (especially theshoulders, wrists, neck, back, and below the waist), red

eyes, running nose, and sight.

Thus, the position of the body, computer equipmentand lighting in the lab space / room can affect thecomfort and security of computer users.

Preferably a computer screen should be 15 to 30degrees to eye level and distance between eyes andthe screen should be between 40-70 cm.


12/24

To ensure long endurance of computer

systems, equipment should be clean and dust-

free and placed in room that is not hot or too

humid and stable table level.

Table size should be appropriate to put a

computer.

The distance between the computer and the

wall should be suitable for air circulation.


13/24

In terms of safety, users are encouraged to clean videodisplay device or monitor screen with a non-corrosiveliquids.

The best way is to wipe the screen with a wet cloth.

Computer monitors generally use the resolution of thepicture (CRT), which can cause emission of high lightdensity not acceptable to the human eye retina.

Therefore, the screen display should have anti radiationscreen, so that the eyes can be shielded from thedamaging effects of light from computer rays radiation.


14/24

Among other issues related to the safety of ICT are:

Fraud

Damage / Program Modification / Computer Data

Information Theft

Copying illegally

Espionage

Cyber Gaming

Quick Rich Schemes

Pornography

Hackers

Virus Diffuser


15/24

Confidentiality

Confidentiality which is associated with technology isthe care and preservation of the confidentiality oftechnology information of "material", device or object,written materials (such as topographic maps, plans,

models, graphs, drawings), and the material / devicethat contains voice (such as tape recorders), film,negative or devices that contain images that can beproduced, augmented or reproduced.

It is understood that the low level of secrecy would

create a conflict of privacy values and confidentiality.Cryptographic techniques are often used to safeguard,store and preserve digital information secret.


16/24

in order to protect safety and national organizations,individuals or groups who are responsible forcollecting, reviewing, analyzing and evaluating the data/ information should consist of those truly responsible,

trustworthy and honest. If not, negligence can have catastrophic consequences

to the organization or country. In this regard, educationas the pillar of the country must emphasize

confidentiality and preservation technology proficiencyso that students can build strong mental strength, thusnot be easily influenced by negative elements.


17/24

Self-Regulation

Self-control is a self-effort or requirement on thebehavior, actions and thought processes.

Self-regulation refers to a person's ability to emphasizethe sense of self power against all obstacles that block

its action. In the age of information and communication

technology development, each individual should havethe self-control on their own actions.

We have a responsibility to manage and usetechnology well to achieve balance and integrity as amember of the family, the community and the citizensof Malaysia.


18/24

All access to information and printed materials, as well asthe media is a privilege and not the rights.

Therefore, every individual should follow the proceduresand ethical use of materials and technology.

Each user of technology and information should have self-responsibility and self control.

While surfing the web, someone should be able to controlyourself from surfing the material that may violate the lawor code of ethics and self-discipline.

Priorities of balance, integrity and quality of life as citizens,community members, students and employees should bemaintained.

Electronic Learning

This type of learning is also known as e-learning.

Internet and computers is the main resources to

implement e-learning because the computer is

connecting to the internet tool that contains awealth of information useful to students and

teachers, particularly with the acquisition of

information on research activities, publicationsand learning on the increase.


21/24

Through e-learning, information sharing can

be more effective and promotes information

and communication technology in education.

Pupils not necessarily acquire material from

textbooks, but can access the website. In

addition, a CD-ROM with elements of

animation, games, text and graphics thatallows learning to be fun and interesting.


22/24

Traditional Media is still relevant

The educators should continue to use

traditional media as the media type is more

beneficial than new technologies.

The important thing is that teachers should be

wise in choosing the variety of existing media

to stimulate learning.


23/24

Changing Roles of Teachers

The teacher's role in learning is changing with theincrease in the use of technology in theclassroom.

Although the teachers cannot be taken over bytechnology, but the role of the teacher haschanged from a provider of information to acoordinator of learning resources.

In addition, teachers will be facilitators,

managers, and the driving force which assistedstudents with ways to find and processinformation from various sources.


24/24

Teacher no longer looking at class as a collectivegroup, but rather look to at different group ofindividuals capabilities, abilities and needs.

Consequently, teachers are able to identifyindividuals who need special counseling.

Today, teachers guide students along the lessonand not as a presenter on stage.

It is important for teachers to be skilled in the useof electronic devices in order to facilitatestudents and to maintain interest in students withvarious types of teaching media.
