The future of digital governments

A apresentação foi realizada no âmbito da 4ª Semana do Inovação em Gestão Pública que aconteceu em Brasília, de 26 a 29 de novembro de 2018, com o tema “Serviço Público para o Futuro”. O evento foi fruto de uma parceria entre o Ministério do Planejamento, Desenvolvimento e Gestão (MP), a Escola Nacional de Administração Pública (Enap), o Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), a Faculdade Latino-Americana de Ciências Sociais (Flacso), e a Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL). Teve como objetivo reunir pensadores e líderes da área de inovação para compartilhar conhecimentos e experiências com o intuito de inspirar a audiência presente, promover o aprendizado e provocar o debate sobre o tema no âmbito do setor público brasileiro. Nesse contexto, a 4ª Semana de Inovação buscou discutir as possibilidades e desafios da inovação pública para a transformação de serviços públicos, fomentando o foco no cidadão e o desenvolvimento de um governo mais ágil e receptivo às demandas da sociedade. Os tópicos abordados durante a Semana incluem inovações e suas aplicações em políticas públicas, novas tendências em tecnologia e seus usos para gerar valor público, transformação digital no governo e promoção da sustentabilidade, inclusão, aprendizagem e diversidade através da inovação.24 p.Inovaçã

Beyond competence: digital literacies as knowledge practices, and implications for learner development

Our interest in studying digital literacies arises from what we perceive as a failure to develop students' capacities to learn deeply in a technology-rich environment. The trends towards networked communities and digital citizenship, as well as workplace changes including distributed/collaborative work patterns and an (arguably) higher value being placed on 'knowledge' work, all make digital capabilities central to what higher education can offer. While we see efforts being made to support learners’ ICT skills – or at least bring these up to a minimum standard of competence – these are rarely integrated with the development of other capabilities critical to higher learning. E-learning is often celebrated for its potential to extend participation. As we are increasingly saturated in opportunities for acquiring knowledge (Downes 2005, Walton et al. 2007, Anderson 2008), informal networked learning has achieved a new prominence in educational discourse, to the extent that it has almost become the measure by which formal learning is judged. In practice, however, we see digital opportunities being disproportionately taken up, and benefited from, by those with existing educational capital (see for example NIACE 2008). Too often, also, e-learning is used as a shorthand for the management of learning by digital means, rather than the exploration of disciplinary knowledge and knowledge practices in a new digital context. A more competence-based curriculum is becoming the norm, a development which has arguably been accelerated by the standardisation of qualifications in a global (digital) learning market. And yet, we see evidence that effective learners in digital – as in other – contexts have not been motivated by competence-based approaches to learning. We are excited by the current theoretical interest in digital literacies, and yet our motivation remains a pragmatic one: to investigate how learners are developing literacies for learning and meeting their learning goals, at a time when valued knowledge is predominantly communicated in digital forms. We continue to be involved in translating relevant research into effective interventions at curriculum and institutional levels

Mapping the UK Webspace: Fifteen Years of British Universities on the Web

This paper maps the national UK web presence on the basis of an analysis of the .uk domain from 1996 to 2010. It reviews previous attempts to use web archives to understand national web domains and describes the dataset. Next, it presents an analysis of the .uk domain, including the overall number of links in the archive and changes in the link density of different second-level domains over time. We then explore changes over time within a particular second-level domain, the academic subdomain .ac.uk, and compare linking practices with variables, including institutional affiliation, league table ranking, and geographic location. We do not detect institutional affiliation affecting linking practices and find only partial evidence of league table ranking affecting network centrality, but find a clear inverse relationship between the density of links and the geographical distance between universities. This echoes prior findings regarding offline academic activity, which allows us to argue that real-world factors like geography continue to shape academic relationships even in the Internet age. We conclude with directions for future uses of web archive resources in this emerging area of research.Comment: To appear in the proceeding of WebSci 201

The Alt-Right and Global Information Warfare

The Alt-Right is a neo-fascist white supremacist movement that is involved in violent extremism and shows signs of engagement in extensive disinformation campaigns. Using social media data mining, this study develops a deeper understanding of such targeted disinformation campaigns and the ways they spread. It also adds to the available literature on the endogenous and exogenous influences within the US far right, as well as motivating factors that drive disinformation campaigns, such as geopolitical strategy. This study is to be taken as a preliminary analysis to indicate future methods and follow-on research that will help develop an integrated approach to understanding the strategies and associations of the modern fascist movement.Comment: Presented and published through IEEE 2019 Big Data Conferenc

DIGITAL LEARNING STRATEGIES IN THAILAND GOVERNMENT: PRACTICES AND POLICIES

Digital learning strategies to study digital learning strategies in Thailand government focus on  practices and policies. It was found that the types of departments, government agencies affiliated with provinces, districts, and local administrative organizations.  It has no relation to the implementation of policies based on digital government. The digital skills of the personnel in the agency and the mechanisms for driving innovation for spatial development  show that the  types of government agencies that receive policies go to different practices, implementing policies according to digital government. The digital skills of the personnel in the agency and the mechanisms to drive innovation for spatial development are no different.   It also found that the implementation of digital government policies and the digital skills of personnel in the agency. It correlates with innovation driving mechanisms for spatial development, while the digital government policy context in the agency. Capital development aligned with digital government and increasing participation in line with digital government When comparing factors influencing innovation mechanisms for spatial development, compared by standard multiples regression coefficients. (Beta) It was found that innovation mechanisms for spatial development were most influenced by the implementation of digital government policies. (Beta=0.375) Digital skills of personnel in the agency (Beta=0.296) statistically significant at 0.01 All independent variables analyzed. It can explain the variation of innovation mechanisms for spatial development with statistical significance at the 0.01 It can be explained by a percentage. 35.5 (R square =0.355

Artificial Intelligence in Government Services: A Systematic Literature Review

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview on how artificial intelligence is shaping the digital era, in policy making and governmental terms. In doing so, it discloses new opportunities and discusses its implications to be considered by policy-makers. The research uses a systematic literature review, which includes more than one technique of data analysis in order to generate comprehensiveness and rich knowledge, we use: a bibliometric analysis and a content analysis. While artificial intelligence is identified as an extension of digital transformation, the results suggest the need to deepen scientific research in the fields of public administration, governmental law and business economics, areas where digital transformation still stands out from artificial intelligence. Although bringing together public and private sectors, to collaborate in the public service delivery, presents major advantages to policy makers, evidence has also shown the existence of negative effects of such collaboration.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
