Dear Parents,

Students’ Intellectual Property

In order to make online learning more effective and provide opportunities for students to display their homework and share their learning outcomes, we intend to upload good pieces of work on the school homepage. According to the Intellectual Property Ordinance, students can reserve the rights to keep their work from being uploaded. The following stipulations aim to clarify certain doubts. Details about uploading students’ homework are listed below:

1. / Types of Homework: / Homework assigned by teachers during or after the learning process is completed.
2. / Duration: / Assignments being done or completed in the current school year, 2004-2005.
3. / Editing: / To make it more convenient for uploading, assignments may be tailored, deleted, corrected or improved by teachers or staff responsible for uploading work.
4. / Duration for Display: / To be decided by teachers-in-charge
5. / Platform for Display: / On the school intranet and the school homepage
6. / Browsing Rights: / By teachers and students and the public
7. / Students’ Rights: / The Intellectual Property Rights of the assignments are shared by the students concerned and the school.

The above stipulations are endorsed by the school and will be evaluated regularly. With the implementation of the plan, we expect that students can benefit their own studies through referring to and sharing their learning outcomes online.

Yours sincerely,

______

Mr. Yim Chin Ming

Principal
