Abstract
The title describes the intersection of two disciplines: “Educational Technology” and “Information Technology Law”. “Educational Technology” is the ethical practice and study of facilitating learning and improving performance through the creation, use, and management of technological processes. “Technology Law”, also known as “IT Law”, “Computer Law”, “Cyberlaw” and “Internet Law” is the study of wrongful acts over the Internet.
