While universities organized themselves during the pandemic to maintain the integrity of exams through, among other things, proctoring software, the continued use of these requires strengthening the protection of students' personal information. The current reform of the federal private sector law (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is an opportunity to do so that should not be missed.

Chapter 19 of CUSMA on digital trade is, among the preferential trade agreements (PTAs), the one that goes the furthest to liberalize digital trade between signatory countries. In fact, the United States, unlike the European Union and China, for example, sees the ACP as the best way to ensure the free flow of digital goods and services across borders while governing data flows that make these commercial transactions possible. Why did the United States choose to make these trade agreements the primary vehicle for governing digital trade and data flows with the rest of the world? And why has a partner like Canada accepted provisions within CUSMA that impose significant potential limits on the regulation of data and digital platforms? Using a political economy perspective, this article answers these questions.

This theoretical article is in the field of human activity analysis. This study focuses on the development of undergraduate students who specialized in rugby in the Science and Techniques of Physical Activities and Sport program. Moments of a process of an instrumental genesis (Rabardel, 1995) of students using material artefacts (software dedicated to the analysis of rugby sevens games) were noticed, with a special interest in behaviours revealing an appropriation of the software. The controversy among students, caused by the use of the software about the qualification of game phases, contributes to developing both the instrumentation phase – appropriation of the tool by the students- and the instrumentalisation phase – adjustments made on the tool by students. This double process helps the students to improve their reading of rugby games.

This text reports on an experiment in collaborative self-learning enriched by means of information and communications technology. The experiment took place as part of a master's level course which linked use of the basic functions of Windows 95 with surfing of the Net. It was conducted in a socio-constructivist frame of reference. The article reports on participants' learning strategies and roles (a dozen people were involved), as well as on the human and technological resources made available to participants. It then analyzes the various actions that students were led to take, their attitudes, their motivation, their personal work strategies, their reflective processes, and their reactions to the requirements of collaborative work. The article closes with a forward look at the requirements made on the educator by this kind of teaching context.

If we agree that, paradoxically, copyright is an exception to the principle of the free circulation of ideas, its maintenance becomes truly challenging at a time when the appearance of new technologies and the combination of national and transnational legislation are turning into increasingly complex issues. Enhancing protection and extending its duration, without overlooking the growth of the cultural heritage, are the main characteristics of this new legal challenge.

The author Régine Robin explores and exploits all the possibilities of cyberspace on her website titled Papiers perdus (lost papers), which is split between academic life and creative prose. On the creative side of Papiers perdus, 106 fragments of texts varying in length are organized in five sections and their content is suggested by constraints expressed by the author on her home page. Despite this illusion of order, the author encourages the reader to reconstitute these texts in any order they see fit without any guidance on her part. To create meaningful relationships between these fragments of cybertext without resorting to a linear reading, this article turns to the theory of postmodern cartography, which is a manner by which manifested subjective space can be understood as a means to access and create new paths of meaning through the postmodern world (Jones, 2007). Specifically, with the help of the software Hyperbase, I will analyze the semantic constellations which create networks of meaning through the Association graphs.

De 2006 à 2010, nous avons étudié le cas d'une université québécoise ayant implanté Moodle, une plateforme en ligne d'apprentissage. Celle-ci permet aux enseignants de créer un espace personnalisé sur Internet destiné à diffuser des ressources numériques à leurs étudiants, à interagir avec ceux-ci et à les faire participer à des activités d'apprentissage. Alors que plusieurs études se sont déjà penchées sur le potentiel pédagogique de ce type de technologie, nous l'avons plutôt abordé en tant qu'outil de travail des enseignants, en nous intéressant à l'émergence d'un processus de co-configuration dans un contexte où l'organisation implante et supporte à l'interne une technologie open source. Contrairement aux méthodologies de design participatif ou de développement logiciel itératif qui se préoccupent de l'implication des usagers dans les phases …

A growing number of different types of documents are currently available electronically and can be analysed by computer. Literary texts and their specific characteristics are also being analysed in this manner and researchers greet this development with interest or scepticism. The development of electronic libraries invites information specialists to apply their expertise and to diversify their services to meet the new needs of better informed clients. A test case using the SATO software (Système d'analyse de texte par ordinateur) was carried out on a collection of poems, Regards et jeux dans l'espace by Saint-Denys Garneau; the intended purpose of this trial was to highlight certain facts and their interpretations using different approaches, varying from statistical to semantic analyses. Large-scale studies using the complete works of a author are possible, renewing to the study of certains types of literary issues.
