WEEK 12
TUTORIAL
TASK:
1) For task 1 what was needed to be done was we as individuals had to go to the 'Australian copyright council' website; http://www.copyright.org.au/.
Once visiting the website we had to choose five information sheets which we thought would be relevant to us as undergraduate students.
the information sheets I chose that would be relevant for an undergraduate are:
Internet, copying & downloading material:
-Downloadable material that does not have permission from the copyright owner.
-How to get copyright protection.
-Infringing material.
Websites; creating and publishing on the internet:
-Following agreements between website designers and clients.
-Components on a website which are copyright.
-Who owns copyright when a person pays another person to design a particular website.
-Website permissions and allowances.
Music; copying MP3s, CDs, cassettes & records:
-To copy recorded music that you own is legal provided that the program it is downloaded to is your own, meaning you legally own it.
-There are particular conditions that apply before downloading music files to a certain source or computer.
-It is legal for personal use.
-It is Illegal to copy if it is not your own.
an introduction to copyright in Australia;
-General information about copyright material.
-The copyright law.
-Having copyright protects textual material, computer programs, compilations, artistic works etc.
-It explains what copyright does not protect.
-How long copyright material lasts and who owns it.
Copying photographs you have paid for;
-Moral rights.
-It is legal to make a copy for your own private or domestic use.
-Agreements with another photographer have to be followed.
2) In task to we had to visit the "APRA" website; http://www.apra.com.au/music-users/online_mobile/online_mobile.asp and then explain what you need to know about music and the web.
Below is information retrieved from the website above on what is important to know about music and the web?
With the internet providing users with websites where you can download music for free is a decline for music industries, the songwriters, artists and anyone else who becomes affected in relation to this issue. The reason as to why this is a negative effect is because they don't receive any credit for their music because people are able to download without paying, meaning the industry loses credit and money.
Several rights are exploited whenever music is being downloaded or streamed over the internet. There is an online license which is offered by APRA and AMCOS for internet/ music downloader’s to use.
APRA stands for 'Australasian Performing Rights Association', this association helps support songwriters and artists renew the industry. This is done by getting users to get permission from them if they want to use their music.
AMCOS stands for 'Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society', which gives songwriters and music artists right's for protecting their music.
Below is a screenshot of the "APRA" website:
3) Task 3 was to write a plan to protect you from attacks from your privacy and security using the following website:
http://netsecurity.about.com/
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/virus6.htm
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2100282,00.asp
Protect yourself from attacks on your privacy and security from trojans;
-If somehow a Trojan is within your computer, make sure you get rid of it as soon as possible with the anti-virus program you have.
-When opening files know what you are opening and where you have retrieved them from.
Protect yourself from attacks on your privacy and security from personal information;
-When using social websites or email accounts be aware of spamming.
-Install an anti-spam program which generally blocks people or websites from spamming you.
-when sending information make sure it is always encrypted because if they are not encrypted then they may be easily accessed and read by other people.
Protect yourself from attacks on your privacy and security from viruses;
-Always be aware of attachments that are sent through emails, due to the fact that viruses can be present/occur when opening files and images that have been sent to you.
-Installing anti-virus programs onto your computer are always a positive, also make sure that you update them regularly.
LECTURE
Week 12’s lecture was all about the internet and any others issues associated with it. We were notified that the internet is sometimes open to abuse and that it doesn’t really have any standards. A major problem associated with the internet is that it can be published by anyone so information posted for viewers can be faulty and on- authentic, as well as the information provided could be unethical. People who are wise in relation to the internet are generally the ones who abuse it; an example of this is someone hacking into another person’s account. The problem associated with this issue is that the people who are not so wise tend to display personal information about themselves and this gives the wise people an advantage in taking their identity.
Other problems similar to the one mentioned above are;
-copyright breaches
-plagiarism
-security
-intellectual property
-privacy
-freedom of speech
Associated problems in relation to intellectual property is that information can be easily taken/stolen from anyone who has access to the World Wide Web. With copyright there tends to be strict laws of using certain information retrieved from somebody else. Plagiarism is a major factor, as ideas and words are taken without acknowledging the source can occur. For example privacy can be invaded; people are able to retrieve your information from places such as at a cafe' that only consists of computers.
All the above problems associated with the internet can be prevented. Installing firewalls is an excellent way of preventing harmful things occurring to your computer. Installing anti-virus programs and generally scanning as well as being aware of attachments sent through emails is always a positive.
READINGS
The first reading was "Top 12 Ways to Protect Your Online Privacy". This website provides viewers with information on 12 ways to protect online privacy when using the internet. We discover that it is unsafe for users to reveal personal information about themselves in public areas because they are in serious risk of fraud.
The first tip which was provided was never to reveal personal information. Several other tips were mentioned such as how important it is to be aware of spam; you should never reply to any spam that you may receive. Also another tip was, not to reveal personal information to people who you have just been acquainted with or strangers. It is also better to share your email addresses to a small group of people who are trustworthy. The final tip that was mentioned was to use encryption.
Within the second reading which was "Ethics in Computing - Social Justice Issues: Electronic Monitoring". This website contained information on electronic monitoring. Within the page it included five types of monitoring such as employee monitoring and workplace privacy. The monitoring covers privacy in the workplace, computer monitoring, telephone monitoring, electronic mail and voice mail, workplace privacy protections plus a list of organizations which assist employees to privacy protection. The website provides several articles about privacy issues, especially legal issues for defending employers and employees. Finally what they have provided within this reading which was taken from a website is a list of policies and privacy resources as external links and for further research/information.
The third reading is "Brown & Michaels - Overview of Intellectual Property". This reading gives a fundamental introduction on intellectual property which covers three kinds such as trademarks, patents and copyright.
Within a patent there are three types; plant patents, utility patents and design patents. Finally they have also included a brief summary about computer software’s and domain names.

WEEK 11
Building Knowledge
LECTURE
Within this week’s lecture what was discussed was the relationship between data, information, knowledge and wisdom. Characteristics of those terms mentioned above and how they can be represented in different ways, an example being in a business.
Also strategies for assignment work and how those terms are applied were mentioned.
TUTORIAL
TASK:
1) Our first task is was to search for four terms on the dictionary websites provided and to define those terms in our own words.
Wisdom
-After gaining a lot of knowledge you become wiser. With that wisdom you gain you can become more furthermore intellectual and have a high level of understanding of life and everything associated within it.
Knowledge
-Information we receive is added to our knowledge. It is certain things that we already have some knowledge of from experience and it is used for our learning.
Data
-Information that can be presented as facts or numbers which used for referencing and is normally performed and presented in an electronic form. Generally computers because they process a lot of data.
Information
-A collection of documents such as news, sources and factual data which can be retrieved from several places or information is services that provide material for our knowledge.
2) The second task was to create a graphical representation of these four terms by using the draw tool on MS Word. Below is what my result was once using the draw tool on MS Word as well as the words that were provided;
3) The third task was to understand the relationship between data, information and knowledge and how it can assist in university study. It is important for students to understand information to build up their own knowledge. Information and data are liked because they both provide material for our knowledge. The more information that is processed and portrayed, the higher our knowledge becomes. Therefore these terms all links together, as one builds up the next builds up and then we gain a higher level of understanding and gain more experience and information.
4) Task four was to get five organizations that collesct personal data/ifnormation from people/consumers;
Email provider's
-We can assume mostly for security reasons. Also online quiz results can be sold to sponsors and other companies to help target consumers with improved advertizing techniques.
Bank's/financial institution's- security issues eg. credit check's
Government-The government need this information for; passports, licences and wellfare systems to run efficiently
Sporting/social club's
-Advertising, contacting members and fund raising.
Organizations for Charities
-Personal information is useful when deciding who to contact.
-Money can be retrieved by selling to other companies or oragnizations.
READINGS
This reading is all about data, information, knowledge and wisdom. Both links provided are websites based around knowledge and information. Their purpose is to inform people to understand the relationship between data, information, knowledge and wisdom. The first website provided gave an example on applying our common knowledge to finding out what a certain object was. They also provided some facts about a refrigerator; we understood what the object was because the information had established our understanding. The second website provided was created for Spring Hill College students. It teaches them information on literacy skills. It provides tutorials on the production of knowledge, organization, online searching strategies, referencing and copyright issues. The website concludes with several quizzes relating to each tutorial and its aim is to test their knowledge.

WEEK 10
Information Management
TUTORIAL
TASK
1) For task one we need to use bookmarks and favourites on the internet. Our first task was to visit the website http://www.inette.com/aibtinette/favoritesI.html to complete the activities that we were given for the tutorial on how to use the favourites option on the internet.
Below a screenshot has been provided of my favourites that I created for this particular activity;
3) For task three we had to read Negroponte's famous "Being Digital" archive online at this website; http://archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/nn/bdcont.htm
4) After reading the "DNA of information" I came to an understanding that in our time we revolve around the information age. Although it is evident that most of the information is delivered in the form of atoms such as; newspapers, magazines and books. I personally believe that even though this was published 13 years ago, Negroponte's ideas are definately important and still relevant, basically predicting what is going to happen for the future, now.
Negroponte's ideas are still relevant because the information is current and expanding and reaching to new levels constantly. It is seen here that although atom can be considered good, it can also prove to be unreliable. You can only establish this by reading thorugh what has been provided on the website.
Negative - Atoms
-costly
-bulky
Positive - Atoms
-Physical, real-life material
-Hard copy, can create several copies copies
Negative - Bits
- easy to edit
-easy to fake
Positive - Bits
-Efficient
-Editing can occur
-Cheap, reasonable price
LECTURE
This weeks lecture consisted of ways of organising text, documents, images and webpages. We have so much information these days that managing it can be quite difficult. A good way when using the internet to manage information is by using bookmarks and putting them into relevant folders. Information is either atom-based or bit-based.
-Using a file manager or using bookmarks.
-Problems associated with managing information, the positives and negatives.
Atom based - Pros: easily concealed, hard to alter and copy.
Cons: costly, difficult to edit, easily stolen and damaged.
Bit Based - Pros: cheap, flexible, easy to edit.
Cons: easy to access & copy, difficult to notify whether it's
authentic or not.
-Digital Reproductions, the positives and negatives.
-Internet banking, music and email
-Using search tools
READINGS
The readings "Grazing the Net" is an article aimed at students as more of the information provided by the site is mroe relevant to them. The image presented was of a chicken this was used to put forward the true meaning of "free range students", like "free range eggs". Viewers/students need to acknowledge why it is important to collect and organise a large amount of information the reason is so that we as students learn how to manage information whihc is all over the places.

WEEK 9
TUTORIAL
TASK:
1)What term did you enter and what group did you find.
I entered into the google group the word "Mobiles" and the group I found was anything related to mobile phones such as; types of phones, plans and other things that relate to this topic.
2)What was found once searching the word "Mobiles" in google group, was messages and bulletins that had information from people wanting to purchase or get respsonses on what type of phones are good to use within reasonable prices. Also their is information on what certain phines can provide people with and so forth.
3) Below is a screenshot of the website; http://podcasts.yahoo.com/. After visiting this website I entered the topic of my choice which was "Mobile Phones" after this what was displayed was the below screenshot:
LECTURE
In today's lecture, the main topic was "Communications". We were introduced to the propiety of emailing and sending text messages, as well as anything relating to these two issues.
In some cases this form of communication has taken over from phoning and in most cases it has taken over from letters.
Within the lecture a fact which was indicated to us was that emailing has taken over from telephoning in the current years. This is due to the informality of messages sent via sms and email. With this their is always a possibility of a message being sent, misinterpreted by the reciever. Which brings poeple to eb aware of that point which is that we as users need to follow a certain protocol whilst using particuklar types of communication such as emailing an via sms.
READINGS
Reading one which is “Guide to using e-mail” is all about emails and how to use what they can offer. People have been educated on how to write to other people in a correct format whether it is through a letter, email or journal. Emails that are received in current times can be the subject of abbreviations and people being slack. When people use emails services they tend to use abbreviations which can sometimes be misinterpreted by the receiver/viewer as they might not notify what the sender is implying. When sending something such as an email or letter the subject of your email is absolutely essential because it is the first thing the reader/viewer acknowledges. If people notify it and believe it isn’t important they tend to not even open it but instead delete it as soon as possible. The tone of your writing is also important; don’t use capital letters because it indicates you are aggressive towards the recipient. Address the reader formally if you do not have a close relationship with them, this shows courtesy.
The second reading is all about problems with spam. The website; http://www.caube.org.au/problem.htm discusses the issues relating to spam, and encourages the reader to deem this issue to be more important than society would normally think it as.

Overall, the website is structured in order to notify the importance of spam emails and provides a comprehensive argument on the disadvantages of spam.

LECTURE
In today's lecture, the main topic was "Communications". We were introduced to the propiety of emailing and sending text messages, as well as anything relating to these two issues.
In some cases this form of communication has taken over from phoning and in most cases it has taken over from letters.
Within the lecture a fact which was indicated to us was that emailing has taken over from telephoning in the current years. This is due to the informality of messages sent via sms and email. With this their is always a possibility of a message being sent, misinterpreted by the reciever. Which brings poeple to eb aware of that point which is that we as users need to follow a certain protocol whilst using particuklar types of communication such as emailing an via sms.

WEEK 7
TUTORIAL
In today’s tutorial we reviewed the online referencing guide and had to include five examples of electronic format material that are referenced. Then we had to complete the endnotev11 Exercises for vista. Then we completed the Cite while also writing the Endnote activity once this was done we had to save the Cite while we were writing the exercise and captured several screenshots of it and included it in our week 11 blog entry.
We then configured and installed endnote, and learnt how to add information into endnote to make references. We added information from a book, a web page and a journal article and we made a reference for each in endnote and saved it into our endnote library that we made.
LECTURE
Today's lecture was based on the program Endnote. Endnote is a program to manage your references that you obtain through your research. There is a reference manager that is scalable and search able. You can also create bibliography's in Endnote which references your information for you. With Endnote you can complete the required fields and then it will automatically place these references onto your document where you need them.
Endnote can be a resourceful tool for students who may have problems referencing in the correct manner.
This program can be used in two ways, first you can use it as a reference manager for a research project or a specific assessment. The other way in which it can be used is to us it into MS word which is a bibliography manager for one particular assignment.
Also mentioned during the lecture as well as the tutorial was information on referencing and how extremely important it is for a university student.
