Rapid change in the technology landscape has resulted in the introduction of a range of new technologies into the classroom.

This third party operation and control can raise important new regulatory compliance issues, including …

Included will be an explanation of the reasons that schools …

Part II explains the regulations that govern U.S. exports, including the deemed export regulatory regime and how those rules implement a range of national obligations and interests. This Part also discusses the events that threatened to significantly burden …
