From the Paper
"The first mass media form that will be examined for its impact on education will be the Internet. Atkinson College at York University now offers a flexible program that people can take to get their university degree. A person does not even need to go to the actual university at all - they can take all of their classes over the Internet, as well as submit their assignments and exams over E-mail. Other universities are doing similar things, and the result is the appearance of a new educational institution - the electronic university. The electronic classroom is not restricted to one place, but can be accessed from anywhere. People don't need to leave their homes or stop working in order to get a degree. Atkinson College encourages people who think that they are unable to attend university to try and take classes with them."

Abstract
This well-researched paper centers on the matter of copyrighted material in terms of literary works, musical compositions, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial and multi-media packages within CD-ROMs among others. This paper focuses on the legalities of copyright in the three countries cited primarily from the point of view held by archives. The writer of this paper begins by offering a detailed definition of both archives and copyright. According to this paper, a copyright is a set of laws and rules that are established as a particular form of government with the primary goal of protecting the original works of the author. This paper delves into various concepts of copyright including its being construed as a certain specification of law within a particular field of work. The writer examines the situation in the U.K. which currently houses nearly 2,000 archive repositories of various types in England. This paper analyzes the Title 17, U.S. Code copyright law which applies and can only be enforced in the U.S. The Title 17, U.S. Code is given to original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical and other forms of artistic works which give the owner of the work in question the permission to reproduce said work. This paper details the significance of China's copyright laws on America while delving into the vast differences between China's perception of archived and documented material to that of the western world. The writer examines the growing field of online archives and libraries. This in-depth and informative paper also contains pertinent data and statistics relevant to this specific topic. According to published figures there are 1.5 million visits a year to archives while up to 75% of those who visit do so for private or personal research.

From the Paper
"The term copyright has to be explained to some extent. Copying takes place in a number of instances and can be considered when a single copy is made of an article through photocopying, downloading pages from a Web site, or seeing a picture that has been loaded in the digital format. In all these instances, there is no violation of the rights of the copyright holder, as they may be considered to be a fair use of the facility. Since the question of copying is involved, there has to be an understanding as to whether there are violations of any rights of the copyright holder. The permissions have to be given when certain actions are involved like a movie version from a book, translation of a book into other languages, etc. In these cases, the rights of the copyright holder are involved, and it does not matter from where the person desirous of making the change got hold of the material. It depends on the copyright holder to say how the work for which they are holding copyright will be distributed to the public at large."

Abstract
This paper seeks to answer the question whether society can live without paper at all, with the dramatic increase in the use of computers. It shows that a few current trends support the idea of a paperless society such as the increasing amounts of people using the Internet. It has been estimated that there are 44,000 new users every day. This has led to people spending more time on-line, and has also caused the Web to impact a number of industries and as newspapers and periodicals. The paper also explores the use of CD-ROMS which are contributing to the situation, as they add a new visual and interactive element.
From the Paper
"A few decades ago, the word document conjured up an image of a book, letter, or printed report. A decade ago, when word processors started being used instead of typewriters for documents, this definition changed to include textual computer files as well. In recent years, with the increased functionality of word processors and as other complementary products became available, the meaning of document included not only text but other information, including graphics, spreadsheets, fonts, sounds, movies, images, compressed or encoded text, and any other information that might be contained in a computer file."

Abstract
This paper has two purposes, the first provides a collection of otherwise scattered archaeological resource material for secondary education providers and secondly, it considers wider issues inherent in the New South Wales history curricula. The first section of this paper contains archaeological resources for secondary education and includes material from North America, United Kingdom and Australia. While the survey is not definitive, it is designed to highlight current trends in printed matter, visual media and the internet as rapidly evolving resource theatres.
Secondly, the paper provides an overview of the relevant stages and structure of history as presented to Australian secondary students. Description, explanation and illustration of the 'continuum of learning' will assist those uninitiated in educational jargon, and hopefully provide an appreciation of the overall course content. Finally, the paper reviews archaeology as taught in Australian secondary schools.

From the Paper
"For those considering a teaching career, and possessing an archaeological background or skills, a great deal of scope exists within the syllabus for the inclusion of archaeology. A career in teaching HSIE will require a three years bachelor degree plus either a Diploma of Education (Secondary), or a four year Bachelor of Education, or a four/five year combined degree, such as Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary). Strictly speaking, archaeology is not included in the range of subjects taught in HSIE as listed by the NSW Teachers Association (2003). However, teachers are, 'encouraged to use their special interests and talents to contribute to a wide range of school activities'. Nevertheless, and whilst the course bears the title, Ancient History, a significant body of relevant information comes directly from an archaeological approach, and the archaeological record. "

Abstract
This paper reports that the "Information Age" exhibit has on display hundreds of items spanning the 150-year length of the "Information Age". The author points out that, from the telegraph to the portable computer and digital CD ROM, these devices have helped shape the world around us and have given us access to a whole new way of life. The paper states that the exhibit contains additional facts, including the fact that the first computers were sold as kits for which consumers had to make their own case because many marketers believed the personal computer was not a salable product.
From the Paper
"In addition to the telegraph, a basic cable, called the Atlantic cable of 1858, is also on display. Being to forefather to the coaxial cable that would later transform information across the globe, this cable was not well designed, and only stayed operable for a few days. However, later cables would spread the information world across the ocean for the first time, promoting intercontinental communications. In addition, the "Information Age" exhibit includes a telephone display, showing the history of the telephone as the world knows it today. Beginning with Alexander Graham Bell's early telephone equipment, including pictures of his early experimental phones, and spanning to the commercial phone of 1877 and the first telephones with a dial, this display shows the evolution of both the phone its self, and the equipment created to handle the calls."

Abstract
This paper defines e-training, or e-learning, as the delivery of information by means of electronic media by making use of various techniques such as the Internet, intranet, extranet, Ethernet, teleconferencing or audio conferencing, video conferencing, cable networks, broadcast by satellites, interactive television, and CD-ROM. Furthermore, e-training also can be defined as an extension in learning by means of technological networks, which are designed to deliver and administer information. The author, after an extensive review of research methodology, selects a quantitative data collection instrument, a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. The paper relates that, in spite of the fact that e-training is renowned in the world as the best tool for training organizational employees in a very short span of time with much less cost than incurred before, the employees in this study are skeptical about e-training's overall effectiveness.

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to show how computer journalism will be more of an asset to journalism and society. It looks at how computer journalism is better than other news sources, will create more jobs, will affect the community, and will affect entertainment such as sports and movies. The discussion is constructed as follows: journalism in the present & the future, computer journalism in the present, newspapers that are already using computer journalism, how databases help stories become more efficient, why CD-ROM is a needed tool, the future, how computer journalism increases opportunity and creates new jobs and reaches the community, effects on entertainment, and advertising.
From the Paper
"Newspapers have always been efficient in delivering the news but have faced set-backs that leave the public unsatisfied. Surveys show that "only 38 percent of the public rely on the newspaper.., while 72 percent point to television for news" (Dennis 677). Editors realize the need for drastic change and have already adopted new ways to deliver the news more efficiently. For example, databases are now "recognized as a tool, if not a staple" (Webb 1) for good journalism. CD-ROMS (On-line databases) are also being used frequently by Newspapers; because of the dramatic drop-off in the price for ROMS, from $10,000 to $4,000 in the last decade, the media has been quick to take advantage. These two new resources hope to push back the newspaper on top of the news industry."
