Assalamualaikum.. Last week I have learn about copy right that has been teach by Encik Azmi, by attending to this class, i have a knowledge and get a clear view about the "copy right" stand for. So i would like to share with you abouy what i have learm in the class.

What Is Copyright?

Copyright is the exclusive right given to the owner of a copyright for a specific period. Copyright protection in Malaysia is governed by the Copyright Act 1987. There is no system of registration for copyright in Malaysia. A work that is eligible is protected automatically upon fulfillment of the following conditions:-

- sufficient effort has been expected to make the work original in character;
- the work has been written down, recorded or reduced to a material form;
- the author is qualified person or the work is made in Malaysia or the work is first published in Malaysia.

Who Enforces Copyright?

The Copyright Act 1987 provides for the enforcement of the law by the Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, apart from the Police. The Act also provides the necessary clout to the enforcement agencies to effectively carry out anti-piracy measures. Copyright owners shall lodge an official complaint supported by the necessary documents to the Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs if they suspect infringement. Immediate action will be taken by the said authority. The Division will conduct the necessary investigations and prosecutions.

What does the Copyright Act 1987 provide?

Copyright protection in Malaysia is governed by the Copyright Act 1987 which provides comprehensive protection for copyright able works. The Act outlines the nature of works eligible for copyright (which includes computer software), the scope of protection, and the manner in which the protection is accorded.

A unique feature of the Act is the inclusion of provisions for enforcing the Act, which include such powers to enter premises suspected of having infringing copies and to search and seize infringing copies and contrivances. A special team of officers is appointed to enforce the Act.

Malaysia is a signatory of the Berne Convention. Foreign works of non-Berne member countries are also protected if they are made in Malaysia and are published in Malaysia within thirty days of their first publication in the country of origin.

Problem Based Learning

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a curriculum development and delivery system that recognizes the need to develop problem solving skills as well as the necessity of helping students to acquire necessary knowledge and skills.

My definition of PBL is teacher presents to students with a problem, not lectures or assignments or exercises. Since student are not handed content, learning process becomes active in the sense that student discover and work with content that determine to be necessary to solve the problem. Student will work with group discuss and find out the solution with any sources. Teacher will act as facilitator to support and encourage or give ideas to student to complete the tasks. The goals of PBL are to help the students develop flexible knowledge, effective problem solving skills, self-directed learning, effective collaboration skills and intrinsic motivation. Working in groups, students identify what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to resolution of the problem.

PBL method gives a lot of benefit to student where we can see student will put full of effort to search and find out the information. PBL method is a learning process towards student centered. Student is responsible to their learning process and not depends only to teachers. What good about this method is student will work as a group and discuss to exchange their opinion about one topic. It is also develop communication skills of the student.

Teaching and learning for our education system right now must be change towards this PBL method according to the suitability of the topic. It is really help our student to be more responsible towards the learning process. Is not come to school and receive all what teachers give and not respond to the learning but managed to give opinion on a situation.

ReFLecTION fOr This CoURsE

Firstly, I realized that this course has helped me overcome my fear of technology. There are a lot of thing I that I have learn in this course and mostly it’s new to me. For example I have learned how to do edit picture by using Paints and I find that it’s very interesting and it new to me. In addition, from taking this class, I have learned that my preferred learning style is visual. I learn best from reading the material and seeing charts and graphics. It clearly showed when I was conducting a SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION experiment by using STELLA simulation and modeling software. By using this software I can understand well Theory in physic. So, by now I know that ICTs is important in teaching science.

Furthermore, more knowledge that I get in this class will help me in the future. For example, in this course Dr azmi teach us how to want to make a good and interesting blog. I know that blogs not only to share information but can also be used to gain profitability, for example, we can add ads in the blog and also can promote our product if we involve in bisness Now I can make my own blog, this was new for me and very able to help me in the future may be in other subjects. In addition, during ICTs class, I also learned how to make E-PORTFOLIO for my subjects. In E-PORTFOLIO I can use it to share my works that related to my science subjects.

ICT includes any communication device or application and encompassing like radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. ICTs are often spoken of in a particular context, such as ICTs in education, health care, or libraries.

In ICT''s class, I learned about DATA LOGGER, . Although sometime it really test my patience when using this. DATA LOGGER, help can help us to keep our data for experiment and assignment. Using DATA LOGGER, we can automatically record and save the data for every seconds. The data that got during the experiments also more accurate and save the time.

As the conclusion, ICT's importance lies less in the technology than in its ability to create greater access to information and communication. Many countries around the world have established organizations for the promotion of ICTs, because it is feared that unless less technologically advanced areas have a chance to catch up and the increasing technological advances in developed nations. Lasty special thanks to my lecturer Encik Azmi because exposed to me the important of ICT in our life and now I totally agreed with taht statement.
