  •  
    New technology has allowed students to take MOOCs, which are massive open online courses, for college credit. However, colleges have to make sure that students taking the course away from campus and laptops are not cheating on the final exam. To do this they developed software that colleges can use to monitor students through webcams, screen sharing, and high-speed Internet connections. They can also check out their photo IDs, signatures, and typing styles.

Online Piracy Alert System to Begin This Week - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    This week the Copyright Alert System is being put into effect on the Internet. The system is used as an alert to companies about copyright infringement on their websites. Now when people on the Internet attempt to copy and paste a company's work onto their own work, they will receive a series of warnings. Media companies will observe online traffic and report to Internet providers if they think work has been downloaded illegally. The person who did this will receive up to six warnings and after that service providers can stop their Internet flow or give them up to a $35 fine. This relates to the sharing of information through Web 2.0 because people's work that they upload can be stolen or plagiarized, and this is helping to prevent that by discouraging the stealing of work.
