Abstract: As part of the protection against the dangers of the Internet, a program was developed by the Ministry of Family, Solidarity, Equality and Social Development with the technical support of the Council of Europe in 2017. The program dedicated to protecting children from the dangers of the Internet called "E-salama". This research focuses on the presentation of the new "E-salama" program: its reality, its challenges, the dangers and the new solutions, facing the various online threats. We will also introduce other child protection software used by other countries and look for the types and percentage of daily use of the Internet by our children, the dangers that threaten these users and the solutions proposed by the "E-salama" program in the face of different threats. In this case, a real policy of protection and sensitization of the various actors (public and private) proves to be essential to associate the civil society and the private sector to a dynamic cooperation, in order to prevent the dangerous use of the Internet..

Abstract: Considering that there is a disconnect between the theoretical teaching and practical teaching in the training of specialty talents in applied undergraduate colleges and universities, the reform and practice of the teaching model based on OBE concept for the course "Principles and Applications of Single-chip Microcomputer" is carried out in this paper. Taking students as the center and taking the outcomes as the orientation, based on the project driven, the reform of teaching mode is discussed from the aspects of theoretical teaching, practical teaching and course assessment. The practice teaching results show that the teaching reform based on OBE concept not only helps to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, but also helps students better understand, master and apply the course knowledge points, which has achieved the effect of engineering education.
