Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce students to topics related to e-Government development and implementation, and other initiatives mediated by the Internet. The technologies, frameworks, policies, evaluation methods and best practices are also addressed.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Demonstrate a critical awareness of current problems and advances in e-Government
  • Identify and integrate the disparate areas and the relevant technologies involved in the design and development of e-Government applications
  • Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of e-Government strategies and methodologies
  • Recognize the frameworks and components
  • Define the technical background necessary for the operation of services in the e-Government
  • Plan, analyze and participate in the development work carried out with ICTs in the public sector
  • Develop knowledge and understanding of the local and global development behind e-Government
Course Content Theoretical background of e-government, the use of e-government: local and global; technical and organizational aspects to realize e-government systems and contemporary sociotechnological methodologies; enterprise architectures, reference models and frameworks: Zachman, TOGAF, MoDAF, and DoDA; interoperability standards: eGIF, EIF, SAGA, and other
