LECTURE:

Wow its the last enrty today, time really flies =]

The lecture introduced some problems that are associated with the Internet, Internet information and Internet users. These problems are due to copyright information, plagiarism, security and privacy. The lecture today also stated the characteristics of these problems and what happens when someone disobeys or misconduct. Here in ECU any misconduct or plagiarism results in assignments not being accepted or in a more serious case expelled from the University.

WORKSHOP:

The final workshop activity and blog entry of the semester. Today the workshop consisted in looking at laws of misconduct and plagiarism.
I think the most relevant for an undergraduate is the Assigning and Licensing Rights and Internet: Copyright and Downloading. This is important as the assignments that are submitted in ECU falls under this and saying that the assignment is entirely your work. By signing a sheet in ECU's case a cover sheet. Some other rights that be relevant are

The next activity consisted in having to do a summary of the Australia vs U.S copyright laws.
The Australian vs U.S copyright laws says that they have somewhat an identical laws with different exception. In saying that it consist of copyright laws that can be done without permission in U.s can't be done in Australia. This is probably some the most recognizable copyright laws.

All in all they are somewhat the same having same laws for copy right materials.

Having a good Internat security such as Norton Anti Virus is a good way to protect myself from Viruses and Trojans, By having a daily routine checks of my computer. Also having spam blockers is good thing to prevent my computer from being spam.
