This essay aims to discuss the importance of defining strategies and policies for the copyright management in the development of multimedia teaching materials, especially for distance learning purpose. At the same time, it provides guidance to authors and other professionals involved in content production, considering, mainly, the Brazilian law, but also taking in account international initiatives such as Creative Commons.

Koshas is a work arising from the intersection of several experiments: first, the experience in Cachoeira and São Félix (historic towns of Bahia Recôncavo) and attraction to surfaces worn by time, in his architectural ensemble; the questions on the forms molding of the female body in contemporary society; and the practice of yoga, which brought the concept of "koshas" (layers or sheaths) surrounding the vitality of self-consciousness. Finally, from the relationship between these issues, is born a female body that incorporated into the city textures, represents "koshas" through the layers of concrete, ink and color. This body, contemporary, molded and influenced by the aesthetics, fashion and media's fetishization, creates for himself a new way of self-constructing from the discovery of these masks or layers both material and symbolic, in the everyday present, finding a way to deconstructing itself. Koshas is elaborated trought this poetic repertoire and unfolds in the creative process from the photography and video, culminating initially in a video installation presented at the group exhibition Iminências. And then in a solo exhibition, containing more objects and Koshas's developments. The memorial gift is therefore all political, aesthetic and poetic questions concerning this artistic route.
Keywords: City, body, layers, koshas.

This paper investigates the impact of a pedagogical model using a developed social Android App on acquiring multimedia design and production skills among instructional technology students at Suez Canal University, Faculty of Education, Egypt. This model based on blending the face-to-face learning context with the power of social media in education, on one hand it enables students to learn in a project-based learning atmosphere and on the other hand it extends the learning time outside university. The developed android app integrates the traditional tools of social networking websites with new suggested tools and services such as searching the internet for, PDF, PPT … etc., search Youtube and SoundCloud from every post without leaving the app to another website or search engine. This context enables students to upload their projects and assignments and encourage them to make further discussions and reflections outside the university. Moreover, it enables the teacher to create educational games and applications, quizzes, questionnaires and open ended questions. In addition, the aim of developing this app is to avoid any distractions that divert students attention and to provide tools which may be not available in traditional social media. The targeted gain in this study was limited to the second and the third phase in the general model of educational design which include designing and developing skills. The data was collected from a sample of 64 participants using an online achievement test and an evaluation sheet for students' projects to know the impact of the study intervention. The results reveal significant indicators in students' cognitive part of the designing skills and in achieving their projects in developing phase.

Nowadays, the use of feature modeling technique, in software requirements specification, increased the variation support in Data Intensive Software Product Lines (DISPLs) requirements modeling. It is considered the easiest and the most efficient way to express commonalities and variability among different products requirements. Several recent works, in DISPLs requirements, handled data variability by different models which are far from real world concepts. This,leaded to difficulties in analyzing, designing, implementing, and maintaining this variability. However, this work proposes a software requirements specification methodology based on concepts more close to the nature and which are inspired from genetics. This bio-inspiration has carried out important results in DISPLs requirements variability specification with feature modeling, which were not approached by the conventional approaches.The feature model was enriched with features and relations, facilitating the requirements variation management, not yet considered in the current relevant works.The use of genetics-based methodology seems to be promising in data intensive software requirements variability specification.

There is a true struggle that exists in Burkina Faso Africa today. Many elementary schools do not have adequate facilities to provide a descent educational environment. In 2009 this country was 4th to last on the Human Development Index. Yet, how can we expect a country to climb out of poverty when the children are not receiving a proper education? In this country, that is one of the least developed in the world, many villages do not even have access to proper sanitation facilities or potable drinking water not to mention descent educational facilities. To ensure a brighter future for this country rich in culture yet poor in development, the world must lend a helping hand.
