Activities to develop

The students must develop the following activities:

1. Each student takes an overview of the course:

* Profile update.
* Collaborative group identification.
* Social forum personal presentation
* Agenda review
* Syllabus and activity guide reading and comprehension

Then, identify the tutor and get communication on skype

2. Nowadays, new technologies are being developed not just by first

world countries, also developing nations are working hard to research
and innovate in order to be competitive in a crowded global
market. Therefore, there are intellectual property procedures that have
been established to guarantee inventions rights, which everybody
should be aware.

Given this situation, the next problem will be discussed and analyzed
throughout the whole course:

“How new technologies protection can play an important role,

hampering or promoting development and poverty eradication in
undeveloped countries?”

Therefore, according to its previous knowledge, each student posts on

the forum Unit 1,2,3: Recognition step - Identify the problem, a PDF
document, answering the following questions (one paragraph about 100
– 200 words long for each one):

2.1. What are the risks a company faces when develops a new
technology?
2.2. Is innovation a real opportunity for poverty eradication in
undeveloped countries? Why?
2.3. It is important for Colombian companies, to protect its
inventions?

Also search on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)

website and answer the following questions:
2.4. What is World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)?
2.5. What types of intellectual property exist and how are defined by
the WIPO?
2.6. What is Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC)?
2.7. What is Inventor Assistance Program (IAP)?

3. Once the student posts its answers on the Collaborative learning

environment, it is necessary to read other group members ideas
and give a relevant feedback.

the other partners that the delivery has been made.

Warnings: Ensure that the members of the group are

notified of new developments and inform the teacher

Use APA format. Edition 3th
The APA Standards is the most used style of
organization and presentation of information in the
area of social sciences. These are published under a
Manual that allows to have the scope in the forms in
Use of which a scientific article must be presented. Here you
references will be able to find the most relevant aspects of the
sixth edition of the Manual of the APA Rules, such as
references, quotations, elaboration and presentation
of tables and figures, headings and seriation, among
others. You can check how to implement them by

Plagiarism is defined by the dictionary of the Royal
Academy as the action of "substantially copying other
people's works, giving them as their own". Therefore,
plagiarism is a serious offense: it is the academic
equivalent, to theft. A student who plagiarizes does
not take his education seriously, and does not respect
the intellectual work of others.

There is no small plagiarism. If a student makes use

of any portion of another person's work, and does not
document their source, they are committing an act of
plagiarism. Now, it is clear that we all have the ideas
of others when it comes to presenting ours, and that
our knowledge is based on the knowledge of others.
But when we rely on the work of others, academic
Plagiarism
honesty requires that we explicitly announce the fact
policy
that we are using an external source, either by
appointment or by an annotated paraphrase (these
terms will be defined below). When we make an
appointment or a paraphrase, we clearly identify our
source, not only to give recognition to its author, but
also to allow the reader to refer to the original if he
wishes.

There are academic circumstances in which,

exceptionally, it is not acceptable to quote or
paraphrase the work of others. For example, if a
teacher assigns his or her students a task in which
students are clearly asked to respond using their ideas
and words exclusively, then the student should not
appeal to external sources even if they are properly
referenced
