STUDENT SAMPLE

PROJECT USING
OPEN-ENDED TOOLS
Students as Digital Authors
As the quality of authoring software increases
and as you are exposed to online learning, it is but
proper for you as would-be facilitators of learning
to explore and understand some principles and
guidelines to help your future students author or
write digitally. Moreover, you may also facilitate
some online language courses for any distance
learning or blended learning that require digital
authoring.
A. LANGUAGE LEARNING
VIA WEB PUBLISHING
Language skills can be fully developed by
allowing students to communicate through
the internet. This may take place when the
students or the class will be required to post a
story or other products on a bulletin board or
web page.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
ANY AUTHORED DOCUMENTS TO THE
WORLD WIDE WEB.

1 First, with the advent of ready-made websites


that are meant to invite and encourage
contributors to share their authored stories,
research, commentaries, and the like, students
may publish their work by submitting their
3
products to these websites.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
ANY AUTHORED DOCUMENTS TO THE
WORLD WIDE WEB.

2 Second, the students may create their own


web pages because there are a lot of free
apps for web page development or they
may place them on their institution's
3 official website.

A. COPYRIGHT LAWS

Copyright Law protects works of authorship.


Hence, it is very important for teachers and
students to learn more about copyrights laws
and copyright acts to ensure that there will be
no copyright infringements that will happen
in the process of authoring of publishing
materials offline or online.
ACCORDING TO FINDLAW (2020), THE COPYRIGHT ACT
STATES THAT WORKS OF AUTHORSHIP INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING TYPES OF WORKS:

• Literary works
• Musical works
• Dramatic works
• Pantomines and choreographic works
• Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
• Motion pictures and other audiovisual works
• Sound recordings
• Architectural works
FINDLAW (2020) FURTHER STATES THAT COPYRIGHT LAW IS
IMPORTANT FOR MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPERS AND
PUBLISHERS FOR TWO REASONS:

a. Original multimedia works are protected by


copyright. The Copyright Act's exclusive rights
provision gives developers and publishers shers the
right to control unauthorized exploitation of their
works.

"content" music, text, graphics, illustrations,
photographs, software that is protected under

Republic Act No. 10627 otherwise known as


the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 of the Philippines
directs all elementary and secondary schools to
adopt policies to address the existence of
bullying in their respective institutions.
One of the most common problems encountered
today by internet users is bullying online which we
call cyberbullying. Consequently, it is important for
teachers to be very judicious and alert in advising
students as they publish their requirements online
or as they communicate or collaborate through the
World Wide Web.
C. REPUBLIC ACT 101751

This is known as Cybercrime Prevention Act of


2012 declaring a policy that states that the State
recognizes the vital role of information and
communications industries such as content
production, telecommunications, broadcasting
electronic commerce, and data processing, in the
nation's overall social and economic development.
