COURSE CODE:
Media Arts, Grade 11, University/College Preparation
ASM 3M
Description/Rationale:
This course emphasizes the development of the knowledge and skills required for the production of
media art works (e.g. computer animation with synthesized sound). Students will develop an
appreciation of the history of media arts through analysing specific works, and will create media art works using a variety of
technologies (e.g., digital camera, photo-imaging software, computer-modelling software, synthesizer, videotape, multi-track
sound recording).
“Artistic creation does not copy God‟s creation, it continues it. And just as the trace and the image of God appear in His
creatures, so the human stamp, sensitive and spiritual, not only that of the hands, but of the whole soul.” (Jacques Maritain)

DUFFERIN-PEEL CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
BOARD POLICY / REGULATIONS
Board Policy Number: 4.75
Subject:
Network Use and Security
Effective Date: (530) July 16, 1996
It is the policy of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board that in developing the Boardwide Network, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board strives to
achieve educational excellence and to enhance the educational experience through the sharing of resources, access to information, innovation, communication and
collaboration. At all times, staff and students of the Board will abide by all rules and regulations, including the Student Code of Behaviour in the use of network
resources.
In the spirit of its Mission Statement, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has developed and installed a Wide Area Network connecting all of its sites together.
Included in the many services planned to be made available on the Board Network will be access to the Internet. In developing the Boardwide Network, the Dufferin-Peel
Catholic District School Board strives to achieve educational excellence, and to enhance the educational experience through the sharing of resources, access to information,
innovation, communication, and collaboration. By helping education extend beyond the classroom, this network will enhance the ability of our educators and students to meet
the challenges of the future.
It must be noted, however, that school boards do not have control over the information that is accessible on other networks, nor can they erect barriers which completely limit
access to the full range of information available. Information located on the Internet may contain matter which is illegal, defamatory, pornographic, inaccurate, or potentially
opposed to the Mission Statement of the Board and the Board’s vision of students.
The benefits to educators and students far exceed any disadvantages of access. Ultimately, parents and guardians of minors, supported by the boards and teachers, are
responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children or wards should follow.
The network that has been developed has been designed to allow access to, and promote the use of, the vast information resources that are available both within our
organization and on the world-wide Internet from anywhere in the Board. Students and staff are encouraged to seek out and utilize resources on the network that improve their
personal skills and efficiencies. It is expected that, at all times, staff and students of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board will abide by all other rules
and regulations in place, including the Student Code of Behaviour in the use of network resources.
It should be understood that the Board will make every reasonable effort to ensure that access to the negative aspects of global communications are limited and, to that end,
the following regulations have been developed.
REGULATIONS
4.75 NETWORK USE AND SECURITY
The following activities are prohibited on the Dufferin-Peel Network regardless of the method being employed to gain access to the network. Users are forbidden from:
 Engaging in illegal, unethical, or malicious acts;
 Intentionally sending files or messages containing programs designed to disrupt other systems (commonly known as „virus‟);
 Accessing any resource without explicit authorization inside or outside of the Board network (commonly known as hacking);
 Possessing, using, or transmitting unauthorized material (i.e., copyright protected);
 Creating, possessing or distributing unlawful information on any computer system accessed through the Dufferin-Peel Network. This includes
pornographic, obscene or other unacceptable material;
 Sending messages which include profanity, sexual, racial, religious, or ethnic slurs or other abuse, threatening or otherwise offensive language;
 Disclosing of personal information contrary to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act;
 Using the network for commercial objectives.
Contravening any of the above regulations will be dealt with in the same manner as any other breach of Board policy or code of behaviour.
Conditions of Use:
Access to the Dufferin-Peel Network is at the user‟s own risk. The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board makes no warranties, whether expressed or implied, with
respect to network services, and it specifically assumes no responsibilities for:
 The accuracy or quality of any advice or information obtained by a user from any source accessed via the network;
 Any costs, liability or damages caused by the use of the network;
 Any consequences of service interruptions or changes in services, including loss of data, resulting from delays, non-deliveries or mis-deliveries, even if these
disruptions arise from circumstances under the control of the Board.
It should be noted that electronic communications via the Dufferin-Peel Network is not guaranteed to be private. System administrators do have the ability to intercept
electronic communications and, although communications are not to be regularly monitored, there is to be no reasonable expectation of privacy when using the network.
It is critical to the security of the Dufferin-Peel Network, that all users do their part to safeguard the security precautions in place. If any users should feel that they can identify
a security problem on the network, they must notify a system administrator.
Users are prohibited from:
 Demonstrating a security problem to other users
 Using another‟s account
 Sharing accounts and passwords
My signature below indicates that I have read the Board Policy/Regulations on Network Use and Security; I agree with it and will make
every effort to follow each of the above regulations.
