CREDIT HOURS: 3
Public administration rhetoric often indicates that governments are re-inventing themselves by using information technology. What is happening around the world with E-government? Using Canada as reference, this course reviews the development of management of information as it affects performance management, democracy, the nation state, accountability, network growth, productivity and access. Each student will be required to analyze an international country, state or province and its progression to e-government and relate that progress to activities in governments around the world.
Some of the topics covered are:

• Introduction to E-Government
• Service to Citizens
• Administration of E-Government
• Social Exclusion in the Digital Age
• Learning and Information Technology
• Knowledge Networks Personal Information and Information Technology
• Collaborative Networks
• The Dark Side of IT

EVALUATION: Each student will be required to analyze a non-Canadian country, state or province and its progression to e-government and relate that progress to activities in governments around the world. Recommendations for improvement should also be made. Each student negotiates with the professor for an appropriate country. Two papers, class participation and a final presentation based on the two papers, will determine the student's grade.
