Discuss role of IT in education-What can we do to enhance role of computer in school?


Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in education. Through IT, all information is shared mutually. We can go to relevant websites to get relevant information based on our required topics. Research is made very easy with the help of internet. Data collection is now possible with less effort for research. Next, Internet provides us the facilities to gain knowledge in every language. Websites are present in multiple languages. Thus, we can learn a number of educational knowledge in the language that we preferred easily. Besides, we can use online dictionaries for better understanding for the meaning of words. Uncountable dictionaries are present online for our help. In addition, translators of many languages have been developed for us to translate every single vocabulary easily. In conclusion, we should develop a counseling platform online to help the students for their better carrier.


It is important to integrate information technology tools in education, especially enhance the role of computer in school. Nowadays, electronic learning or e-Learning is reinventing the way people learn. The desk, the chalkboard, the paper and pencil, and the knowledge-giver no longer dominate the classroom. The Internet is the biggest influence. Internet, the global network of networks connecting millions of computers and computer users, is a relatively new resource for students. Any student can use the computer as a medium through to access information and resources. The process of learning in the classroom must become significantly richer as students can access to new and different types of information and manipulate it on the computer through graphic displays or controlled experiments.

By using IT, students can dissolve boundaries, fulfill their potential, and create a better society in their education. Internet provides up-to-date information on a variety of classroom-related topics unavailable from other sources. The content of textbook, library, and teacher knowledge is enhanced by this new medium. In addition, more and more colleges are engaged in distance learning programs. It is clear to show that colleges and universities are under increasing competitive pressure to achieve quick success in the field too. IT makes distance learning easy and profitable.

Moreover, Internet can be an important component of a program that significantly increases student learning. This program requires students as well as teachers to access to the Internet and instruction in its use. In order to enhance the role of computer in schools, the most effective way is the school administrators must be the knowledgeable and effective users of technology. For the Internet to continue to be effective and efficient in delivering current information into the classroom, schools must incorporate clear goals, objectives, and long-term strategic plans to create the best method of delivering the information to teachers and students.

The principal can support and encourage teachers to go to conferences and participate in staff development. Notices and agendas can be sent to staff by e-mail, rather than printing and distributing them. The lesson plans can be submitted through e-mail or on disk. The principal can insist that all teachers create a class Web page too. In addition, the teachers can attend technology conferences in order to reach idea exchange with other schools.

The focus of technology is to enhance student learning. Through the use of advanced computing and information technology in education, student learning must be qualitatively different.

Why database is good for us?

Basically, what is database? Database is known as a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system which actually convinient us. In this case, a database which is truly functional is not only able to store large amounts of records well, but it also can be accessed easily.

Database brings a lot of advantages. However for different types of databeses, it gives different benefits for human. There are various types of databases, for instance, operational database,analytical database,external database,navigational database and so on.

As for operational database, database is good for us bacause detailed data which needed to support the operations of entire organization are stored. It is also named as subject-area database(SADB), transaction database, and production database. Customer database, personal database and inventory database are some of the examples of operational database.

Besides that, external database is important as it provides access to external,privately data online. It is readily available for a fee to end-users and organizations from commercial services. As for navigational database, it uses references from other objects in chaterizing the fact.

Morever, in-memory database is faster and provides more predictable performance than disk. In applications where response time is critical, such as telecommunications network equipment that operates emergency systems, main database is often used.

Another reasons that database is good for us is because real time database enables transaction to be processed fast enough for the result to come back and be acted on right way. Some of the applications of real time database include accounting, banking, reservation system, booking ticket online and so on.

Intellectual Property Rights

Course : Pharmacy


When questions on the intellectual property rights (IPRs) of pharmacy, answers that often appear on mind basically related to the registration of medicines and market entry, advertisement of medicines, issue of appropriate license, import of medicines from other countries, regulation of biomedical and clinical research and so on.

However, what actually is meant by (IPRs)? IPRs are like any other property rights. They allow the creator or owner of a patent, trademark or copyright to benefit from his or her own work or investment.

As an example, IPRs of pharmacy prevent companies from manufacturing drugs that have been developed by other companies. For this, research pharmacists play a pivotal role in the discovery and development of new drug molecules and processes used in manufacturing them.

The company which get to create new drugs can get copyright for the drugs for 10 years as a benefit of efforts. Within this 10years time, other companies are not allowed to manufacture the same drugs. The rewards provided by the patent system will have incentive for researchers and inventors to continue producing efficient products for consumer worldwide.

Nowadays, IPRs have become synonymous with the debate on generic drug production and trade. The issue of pharmacy robberies and burglaries has become great challenge posed by generic drugs.

For instance, the appearance of counterfeit drugs not only brings negative impact to the pharmacy industry, but most important public health. The counterfeit products have entered the health care system not only via the black market and rouge internet, but through legitimate supply chains as well.

These consequences have highlighted the importance of IPRs of pharmacy. To protect against this, IPRs of pharmacy plays an important role in combating counterfeited and pirated prescription drugs.

The hazards of high tech crime and the difficulties if keeping data secure.

 

In this new era of globalisation, the computers and internet have grown out of a human need to quantify and infiltrated our lives thoroughly. Personal computer has become very common and can be seen used by most population, for example lecturers, businessmen, students and so on. The networking has grown to be so important until restaurants today get to fix wireless or wi-5 services. However, not all of the community tend to take this development for granted.

Even though IT (Information Technology) brings convenience towards people all around the world, still some problems arise from it. With the technological advances that the world has seen over the past few years, it is not surprising that high-tech crime is on the up rise. But, what is high-tech crime? In essence, high-tech crime refers to those crimes that are being conducted using the internet or the help of a computer. These crimes are also referred to cyber crimes, computer crimes and technological crimes. The problems we are facing nowadays are the hazards of high-tech crime and the difficulty of keeping data secure.

The most common term that known by the world is hacking. Hackers use the code to crack open fire wall. They are trying to break codes, collecting others personal data and important information. It is mostly used to blackmail. No one gets to guarantee that our data will remain secure in the computer system. Adversely, our data have the possibility of being stolen at any period of time. This possibility becomes extremely high when our personal computer is being stolen or sending for repair.

It is more and more difficult to protect personal and confidential privacy in this information technology age. To avoid this phenomenon to become more serious, we must search for solutions as I believe there must be a way to protect our personal data from being stole. First, we must look very seriously in order to protect our personal data. If we are surfing on the net and suddenly there is cookies appear on the webpage, the action that we need to take is just ignoring it.

Next, high-tech crime may lead to more and more such big threat to our country and even the world, besides the lost of money and damage of reputation. It could reveal one’s personal life and encourage blackmailing of personal privacy. We should always be careful. We have to create the password which is strong strength and in the high secure. The password that we used online must not be easily guessable. Moreover, there is something that we need to take note is prepare for the worst! Although there are precautions that we made, we must not over depend on it.

Besides, high-tech crime does happen in high level security zone, until that it involves international companies, government and military. Authorities around the world are working to increase their expertise and to develop tools that will effectively fight these high-tech crimes. In addition, countries can develop initiatives to combat the complexities of these crimes and to attempt to bring them to an end. These problems need to be strictly solved by law to stop those hackers to rule our world too.

Other than that, each country has to protect their own country computer system to avoid the terrorism hack or stole the top secret of their country. This action must be stop as soon as possible by law or by creating new kind software to stop this kind of terrorism. Last but not least, high-tech crime investigation which requires information sharing and cooperation among all levels of government and without boundaries should be done.
