The presentation on copy right was very interesting. Especially on the video that conclude the presentation on it. Very impressive. Basically i understood the topic on copy right. But when it came to second part by Mariam, it was difficult for me to digest it. I guess it deals with how it is managed by regulatory subsystem, the logistics, the policy.
Is true that in Malaysia, we are not really serious on copy right. But I quess can it be because of the cost and the red tape that one has to go throu to get the details or purchase the materials. I wonder in the factor of cost, could the education agencies get the permission from the author to print in cheaper material (paperback cover). I teach my children to read using ladybirds key word book series. Eventually it is expensive. But recently i found out that it is much cheaper. I was told that the new published books are from China with cheaper cost, labour and material. so it is much cheaper. Can this be done for other materials too?

Thanks for sharing. I have also read your reflections in the new wiki. There you gave an example in Science. Has teaching and learning changed in language education?
ReplyDeleteI believe it did. Taking for example, the teaching of grammar, the textbook that i had had less pictures but more words to explain the rules . Now adays, there are more visual effects which makes teaching and learning easier. So teachers do less talking as pictures do most of the explanation.
