In the information society, everyday use of information and communication technology by children occupies a significant place in their lives. Technology has enabled children?s access to cyberspace where they can perform their daily school and leisure activities. However, children?s access to information technology has also created new opportunities for the emergence of different forms of electronic harassment. The subject of this paper includes the analysis of the following electronic forms of harassment of children: 1) grooming, 2) cyberstalking, 3) cyberbullying and 4) trolling. The main goal of the paper is to discuss the controversial issues in conceptualisation of the analyzed electronic forms of harassment of children. In addition, the subject of this paper includes the overview of the relevant legal framework regarding electronic forms of harassment of children at international, European and national level to determine whether these forms of harassment are recognized as criminal offences and to identify legal gaps in observed criminal law frameworks.

Bullying in the form of verbal, physical and social harassment is an integral problem for all societies. With the development of information and communication technology, cyberbullying of children as a new type of bullying increasingly attracts the attention of scholars. Bearing in mind that cyberbullying of children is the subject of this paper, various theoretical approaches, defining this phenomenon, are analyzed. Furthermore, special attention is paid to existing international, European and national legal framework in the context of cyberbullying of children. Finally, starting from the phenomenological forms of cyberbullying of children, the focus is on the challenges of providing victim support. In concluding remarks, it is stated that the lack of a single understanding of cyberbullying of children is a consequence of the absence of a comprehensive legally binding document devoted to this problem. The main goal of the article is to raise awareness about the need to adopt a comprehensive legally binding document devoted to cyberbullying of children in order to protect the rights of victims in cyberspace.

The need for convergence of best practices in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cannot be overemphasised in an increasingly digitalised world. This undoubtedly led to the introduction of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) few decades ago which is considered a fast, seamless, and convenient means of dispute resolution. With the increasing prominence of e-commerce transactions, several countries and regions of the world are on the quest to provide an effective legal framework for ODR in e-commerce dealings. This article analyses the approaches to ODR legislations for consumer protection in selected jurisdictions. The article finds that a comparative legal approach with some leverage on legal borrowing can help to create the required legal environment for ODR in other jurisdictions.

While there is a huge research literature on the field of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) as a tool in teaching and learning, there is much less research on the area of ICT as a subject or similar designations such as school informatics. As a result, there is a lack of theoretical grounding of the didactics of ICT and associated teaching and learning processes. One of the main reasons for the lack of theoretical underpinnings of the didactics of ICT is that there have been in the past and there persist even now strong disagreements and confusion about the nature of ICT as a school subject. While the content of the subject has been clearly defined in the school curriculum, the didactics of ICT is still unclear. This paper suggests ways forward in formulating a framework for conceptualizing the didactics of ICT. The framework draws on research in learning paradigms, epistemology, general didactics, conceptual, and curricular issues of ICT. The article also reports on implementations and evaluations of the framework that were carried out by trainee teachers in secondary schools.

Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized almost all aspects of human life. Thus, examining the effect of this technology on social problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, urban design, land use etc. is of immense importance for transportation planning. Using 303 questionnaires completed correctly by residents of Tehran, this study applied Structural Equation Modelling to investigate the effect of ICT usage in a broader definition on 27 types of out-of-home activities, which were classified into three categories of subsistence, maintenance and leisure activities. The results showed the complementary/generation effect of ICT usage on travel demand. The use of ICT was also found to increase the time spent on subsistence activities and decrease the time spent on maintenance activities, as out-of-home maintenance activities can be carried out more easily and rapidly by Internet, and so people naturally prefer to follow this approach.
