Canadian Copyright

As we move into a technological era where intellectual property can be copied easily and exactly. It is important to understand the parameters the Canadian government has set with the Copyright Act in 1921. This Act has been amended a couple of times. Bills have brought to government numerous times but had not passed because of political opposition. The recent revision Bill C-11 Copyright Modernization Act passed legislation in 2012.

Under this Act we have the guidelines to ensure others are not allowed to use work without permission. This Act protects owner’s right of their copyrighted works.

Copyrighted as cited, “applies to performers’ performances sound recordings and communication signals, through the applicable rights may differ somewhat.

• Copyright provides protection for literary, artistic, dramatic or musical works (including computer programs) and other subject matter known as performer's performances, sound recordings and communication signals.

However there are other rights granted for Intellectual Property (IP):

• Patents cover new and useful inventions (product, composition, machine, process) or any new and useful improvement to an existing invention.
• Trademarks may be one or a combination of words, sounds or designs used to distinguish the goods or services of one person or organization from those of others.
• Industrial designs are the visual features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament, or any combination of these features applied to a finished article.
• Integrated circuit topographies are the three-dimensional configurations of electronic circuits embodied in integrated circuit products or layout designs.” (Canadian Property Intellectual Office, 2016)

Copyright protects owner’s IP as cited “original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works provided the conditions set out in the Copyright Act have been met. Each of these general categories covers a wide range of creations, including:

• literary works such as books, pamphlets, computer programs and other works consisting of text
• dramatic works such as motion picture films, plays, screenplays and scripts
• musical works such as compositions with or without words
• artistic works such as paintings, drawings, maps, photographs, sculptures and plans

Copyright also applies to other subject-matter consisting of:

• performers' performances, meaning any of the following:
• a performance of an artistic, dramatic or musical work, whether or not the work was previously recorded and whether or not the work's term of copyright protection has expired
• a recitation or reading of a literary work, whether or not the work's term of copyright protection has expired
• an improvisation of a dramatic, musical or literary work, whether or not the improvised work is based on a pre-existing work

·       sound recordings, meaning recordings consisting of sounds, whether or not a performance of a work, but excluding any soundtrack of a cinematographic work where it accompanies the cinematographic work

·       communication signals, meaning radio waves transmitted through space without any artificial guide, for reception by the public”. (Canadian Property Intellectual Office, 2016)

You can register your IP with Canadian Intellectual Property but do not send your works. They want your application online see link below:

https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/opic-cipo/da-cpr/depot-filing/connexion-login_eng.htm

or mail. The prices ranges from ($50 to 65 dollars and if you send by mail and it is not an online application an additional $15 is charged) (“Standard fees for copyrights,” 2016)

The length of property protection follows a 50 rule. As cited, “copyright lasts for the life of the author, the remainder of the calendar year in which the author dies, and for 50 years following the end of that calendar year. (Canadian Property Intellectual Office, 2016)

Final 4151 blog post

List at least three practical factors that you need to consider when planning an online course.

1.     I think having a rules of engagement list is very necessary for student to be aware of their conduct and engage in professionalism.  

2.     Have a list or calendar with due dates with percentage breakdown. This will be a key element for the students so they can see how the course is broken down (assessment %)

3.     Giving the student’s instruction on how to write a discussion post is critical. As this may give a student confidence and help students engage in the posts.

Why did you select those factors above any others?

Students like to know what the objectives are but is knowing when the assignments/assessment due dates are. Also the mark breakdown of the courses assignments and assessments give the students an idea of energy and time needed to complete the tasks on hand. The different backgrounds and have various learning styles they may need the elements to know how to properly write a discussion post. Also this will help in conduct with student who may not agree or would like to express their different perspectives.

Why are they important?

I feel these are the most important factors. The students are just as busy as the rest of us. They want to know the course assessments due dates available on a list is important they may plan their life and prepare for the work in front of them. Some students may have a calendar to fill in the dates of when the assignments are due or discussion posts have to be up. Secondly the rules of engagement are necessary to address to the student they should behave in a professional manner. Thirdly given the students the strength to feel confident in their writing is key. As this skill will allow them to be confident in participating in discussion entry posts. 

It's been a great experience and I say bye to 4151 and look forward to 4152!

POST on your blog: assessment activity plan

• Provide the course/potential course name and learner characteristics (think back to our first discussion about who are our learners).

Continuing Education Dental Radiography

Learner Characteristics- Learners will have come from various backgrounds and will have different learning styles.

-The course will be theory based and then a hand on clinical practice will be offered to complete the training.

- Dental radiography is a two part course. A didactic portion presents the history of radiation and the theory of radiation physics. Techniques and protocols are learned in the textbook environment and examined prior to actual x-ray exposure. After successful completion of the didactic portion the learner is eligible to take the clinical where manikin and patient exposures are completed

-Our learners are diverse and come from different learner backgrounds as well as cultural backgrounds. The technology understanding they may have is also varied. So it will be important to create an ice breaker game in order to integrate the students to feel comfortable learning online.  

• State the objective - this is what you will assess- see Objective 2. in bold

1. State the history of dental radiography

2. Describe the components and function of the x-ray machine

3. Describe in general terms, types and techniques of intra-oral radiography

4. Explain the equipment used to produce radiographic images for conventional and digital radiography

5. Explain principles of the paralleling technique for periapical radiographs including armamentarium

6. Explain film chemistry during radiography exposure and processing

• Describe the assessment strategy - these are the instructions that you would give to your students for them to be able to complete the assessment.

Assessment 1- Record and create a video of yourself explaining Objective 3- See the 13 steps of the function and components of an x-ray tube head. Upload video and send the video link to me. You can use Youtube, Vimeo or send me the video in an email at esquires@vcc.ca.

Refer to you Radiography textbook Chapter 2   p.15 & 16 figure 2-12 and 2-17 diagram of dental x-ray tubehead  and x-ray tube

Operation- 13 steps of the function and components of an x-ray tube head:

                                         1.         X-ray machine is turned on

                                         2.         Current is directed to the filament circuit  and the stepdown transformer in the tubehead.  The transformer reduces the 110 or 220 entering line voltage to  3-5 volts.

                                         3.         The tungsten filament heats up in the cathode portion of the x-ray tube.  The outer shelled electrons are released from the tungsten filament when the current passes through it and heats it up.  Thermionic emission occurs when the outer shelled electrons of the tungsten atom acquire enough energy to move away from the filament surface and an electron cloud forms around the filament.

                                         4.         The exposure button is pushed.

                                         5.         The step up transformer (high voltage circuit) is activated and the electrons produced at the cathode are accelerated across the x-ray tube to the anode.

                                         6.         The molybdenum cup in the cathode directs the electrons to the tungsten target in the anode.

                                         7.         Electrons produced in the cathode (-)are accelerated across to the  anode (+).

                                         8.         Electrons strike the tungsten target or focal spot and are converted to 1% x-ray energy and 99% heat.

                                         9.         The heat produced during the production of x-rays is carried away from the copper stem and is absorbed in the insulating oil in the tubehead.

                                      10.         The leaded glass housing restricts the x-rays from escaping the x-ray tube.

                                      11.         A small number of x-rays are able to exit from the x-ray tube through the unleaded glass window portion of the x-ray tube.

                                      12.         The x-rays travel through the unleaded glass window the tubehead seal, and the aluminum disks.  The aluminum disks remove or filter the longer wavelength x-rays from the beam.

                                      13.         The x-ray beam then travels down the lead lined postion indicating device (PID) and exits the tubehead at the opening of the PID.

Rubric for Video of the Steps of X-Ray tube head operation

Level of Achievement	General Approach	Comprehension
Exemplary (40-50 marks)	•Addresses the objective. •States all 13 relevant, justifiable answers. •Presents 13 steps in a logical order. •Uses clear pronunciation and is organized	•Demonstrates all 13 accurate steps and complete understanding of the objective.
Adequate (29-30 marks)	•Does not address the objective explicitly, although does so tangentially. •States 9 to 12 justifiable answers. •Presents 9 to 12 steps in a logical order. •Uses acceptable pronunciation and is organized (one error to 3 errors).	• Demonstrates only 9 to 12 accurate steps and adequate understanding of the objective. •Less thorough than above.
Needs Improvement (28-25 marks)	•Does not address the objective clearly. •States 7 to 8 relevant answers. •Fails to use acceptable pronunciation and is not organized. (four or six errors).	• Demonstrates only 7 to 8 accurate steps and slight understanding of the objective. •Less thorough than above.
Below Average (24-0 marks)	•Does not address the objective at all. •States 6 to zero relevant answers. •Is not clear or organized. •Fails to use acceptable pronunciation and is not organized. (four or six errors).	• Demonstrates less than 6 accurate steps and incomplete understanding of the objective. •Less thorough than above.

• Explain why you chose this type of assessment for this course, objective and learners. This is your rationale for the assessment strategy.

-I chose the video assessment as this will help the students understand objective 2. Describe the components and function of the x-ray machine. It is a step by step instruction they will need to know so they may understand the science of taking radiographs in objectives 3 and 4.

-The video will allow a verbal learning so the student’s may have this foundational information for further integrated knowledge. I choose the video so students can be assessed quickly by taking a 5 minute video. The students can then be responsible for knowing the material as this will be enhanced when they are onsite for their clinical radiography training.
