Literature Review on Information Technology: State Government Use and Management

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Paul M. Chalekian offers the following summary about the topic of Information Technology: State Government Use and Management: The effective use and management of information technology (IT) is a major goal of every state. Almost all forms of government use some aspect of IT. Even within the most remote and rudimentary functions, attempts are made to try and improve efficiency. Personal computers are a standard tool and the use of spreadsheets is a common practice. As the numbers of Internet users increase, electronic government (e-government) portals have been developed as a way to reach those users. In terms of management, information resources must be cost-effective at a time when calls for fiscal accountability are pervasive. Various forms of governance exist, resulting in debates about whether or not to centralize a state’ IT resources. Unless otherwise noted, the references used will be about practices among the 50 American states. However, for many of the following concepts, the wider political term “state” could be interchanged. Although many variations in the use and management of IT exist, some common patterns of governance have been identified.

Developing Creativity and Learning Design by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Developing Contexts, the Law and other Social Sciences

This chapter has two aims: 1) to bridge the link between creativity, learning, information ecology and community of practice that underpins the theoretical necessity of contextual user-centered approach to learning design by ICT in developing contexts; and 2) to specifically discuss how a Human Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) based on learning design can be applied to provide the practical instrument for building creative learning environment in developing contexts. Theoretically, the chapter will build a new framework by using three prominent theories: creativity theories, information ecology and theory of communities of practice. this topic also has practical contributions to offer developmental scholars and project managers a vocabulary to address the process and learning issues in both formal and informal learning environments and opening up new ways for understanding creativity, learning and usages of ICT in a developmental context.[1]
