EGOV project responds to a situation when governments of all EU countries offer a wide range of e-government services and invest an effort into development of e-government services but on the other hand there is a large proportion of citizens who are not able or competent to use this kind of services. The main reasons is their lower education level and little personal experience in work with computers and internet services. Offer of assistance is only possible way to improve this situation. EGOV project thus focuses on the target group consisting of people with lower level education and with less experience in work on computer. The project partners will create practical workshops which will enable effective training in use of egovernment services in simulation environment. Eight different workshops focused on different aspects of egoverment will be created. Supporting materials will be developed for each workshop and simulation environment will be created to enable training in use of egovernement without need of registration. During implementation period 80 participants will attend pilot workshops. Two lecturers will be trained to implement project outputs at regional level. Project outputs will be available to all interested people of EU.
EGOV project has responded to a situation when governments of all EU countries offer a wide range of e-government services and invest an effort into development of e-government services but on the other hand there is a large proportion of citizens who are not able or competent to use this kind of services. The main reasons is their lower education level or little personal experience in work with computers and internet services. That fact was a basic corestone for the EGOV project. Project thus was focused on the target group consisting of people with lower level education and with less experience in work on computer. The project partners created eight practical workshops which enable effective training in use of egovernment services. There was created a simulation environment which lecturer can use for some practical tasks in workshops. Each workshop is focused on different aspects of egoverment services. Supporting materials were developed for each workshop. There were developed six different materials for each workshop - three ones for participants a three for lecturers. Each workshop was twice piloted. During pilot period 112 participants were attend pilot workshops. Outputs of EGOV project can use each lecturer or company in all Europe. It is enough to open simulation environment (http://egov-sim.eu). There anyone can find sets of teaching materials for workshops. There is information what steps it is necessary do to create next language version of SE.
