Intellectual Property in University Learning and Teaching



Intellectual Property (IP) is a legal concept that refers to creations of the mind—such as inventions, artistic works, designs, symbols, and names—that are protected by laws to grant creators exclusive rights. 

When engaging in academic projects, students often need to use images from various online sources, so it is important to properly credit all artworks and images following APA conventions.


Ethical Use of AI

Ethics in AI concern responsible use of the systems of artificial intelligence in concert with human values, societal norms, and laws. Some critical issues concerning ethical AI include:

1. Transparency

Clearly indicate whether or not AI is being used.

There should be transparency about the decisions made by AI systems.

2. Fairness and Non-Discrimination

Bias elimination in AI algorithms so as not to perpetrate injustices based on individual race, gender, age, or other characteristics.

Regular auditing of the AI systems for their equitable outcomes.

3. Privacy and Data Protection

Have personal information collected and used responsibly; comply with basic laws on privacy.

Data gathering should be reduced to the barest minimum and securely stored.

4. Accountability

Accountability from AI decisions to be clearly spelt out through human oversight and responsibility.

Provide avenues for users to challenge or appeal AI-driven decisions or outcomes.

5. Safety and Security

Design the AI systems for safety first: not causing harm to an individual or system.

Protection of the AI systems from misuse, hacking, or other malicious activities.

6. Ethical Use in Education and at Work

AI is to be used as an instrument that helps one learn and enhance productivity, not as an excuse to avoid effort or creativity.

Clearly articulate to students and professionals the implications of resorting to AI with respect to assignments, research, or decision-making.

Ethical use of AI builds trust, allows for inclusiveness, and minimizes a variety of risks coming hand in hand with rapid adoption of this technology.

Unit 7 Note-Taking

Image
  Cornell Method of Note-taking The Cornell Method is one of the most effective and popular note-taking systems in which notes can be organized to retain information. It involves the division of paper into three sections: 1. Cue Column (Left Section): This is a narrow column used for writing key concepts, questions, or cues. After a lecture or reading, you are able to write questions or keywords here that summarize the material. 2. Note-Taking Area (Right Section): The larger section is utilized to write down the main notes while one is listening to a lecture or reading. You write in this section comprehensive information, explanations, and facts. 3. Summary Section Bottom: Leave approximately four inches at the bottom of the page to summarize in your own words what you have studied. This reinforces understanding and helps a lot when reviewing later. Benefits of the Cornell Method Organized: The structure makes the notes clear and way easier to review. Active Learning: The cue colu...

Three Magic ingredients of Powerful Presentation by Phill Waknell

Image
 According to Phil Waknell, an established expert in presentation, a presentation becomes powerful by integrating three key ingredients: message, structure, and connection. To begin with, the message can be defined as the essential or key idea that the speaker wants the audience to take away, succinctly put and designed to be the central focus and significant. Secondly, the structure is how the presentation is arranged to take the audience in a straight line from the beginning to the end and creates a unified movement while helping to build interest in the audience. Finally, the connection has to do with the essence of establishing a bind with the different audiences which allows the content to be appreciated at an emotional and cognitive level through images, narratives or even some form of interaction. All these components ensure that the presentation is not only educational but also motivational and most importantly, memorable.
