“Empowered Learners” Please respond to the following

-From the first e-Activity, the increasing Web-based content has exerted more pressure on policymakers and legislators in the U.S. Congress to enact new copyright laws to govern and organize electronic course material. Explain how the planning process of quality      e-Learning classes, particularly posting copyrighted content on the Web for students to read, view, and copy could be affected by the current copyright law. 

E-Activity 
Go to the U.S. Congress and Library of Congress Website, located at http://www.loc.gov/index.html,, and search for new copyright initiatives and laws that have recently been adapted and ratified by these legislators which may have impacted the design, development and implementation of distance learning, particularly e-Learning. Be prepared to discuss. Search the Internet for effective tools and applications used by colleges and universities in e-Learning environments to prevent plagiarism and cheating. Be prepared to discuss.
From the second e-Activity, describe the tools you found to prevent plagiarism and discuss at least two other evaluation strategies that online instructors should use to prevent plagiarism and cheating.
