This textbook reviews and systematically presents the use of the Internet in public administration and politics. Further, it employs a process-oriented layer model to define the opportunities for exchange and participation for all stakeholder groups, covering the following topics: eAssistance, eProcurement, eService, eContracting, eSettlement, eCollaboration, eDemocracy, and eCommunity. In turn, real-world case studies demonstrate the practical applications in industry, administration and research. The second edition of this book has been completely revised and extended, and includes several new case studies. It offers a valuable asset for students in Business, Economics and Political Sciences courses, as well as practitioners interested in emerging opportunities for digital exchange and participation in the knowledge society.

Although the digital revolution has made content available to more people than print books ever could, ebooks are still only as accessible as the foundation they’re built on—and all too often the foundation is weak. But that’s changing. With the introduction of EPUB 3, publishers now have the means to create a single rich data source for audiences of all reading abilities. Through practical tips and examples, Accessible EPUB 3 takes you inside the EPUB 3 format and explores how you can enrich and enhance content for all readers. Author Matt Garrish demystifies the process of making content easier to access, demonstrating how accessible practices are intertwined with standard content best practices. Among many techniques, this guide will teach you how to: Add structure and meaning to your publications to make them more usable by accessible technologies Tailor EPUB Navigation Documents for readers requiring either full or reduced navigation Create media overlays to synchronize human narration with text display Improve text-to-speech playback by adding SSML, PLS lexicons, and CSS3 Speech functionality

Hoy en día, la utilización en el aula de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) supone un desafío para el docente de alumnado con discapacidad (diversidad funcional), ya que el aprendizaje con TIC constituye para las personas con necesidades educativas especiales una herramienta fundamental para que alcancen un aprendizaje integral. Además, estas tecnologías contribuyen al fomento de la interacción y la participación activa, a la vez que son una fuente de motivación para adquirir conocimientos. Así, el uso educativo y las actitudes que muestre el profesorado en relación con la incorporación de las TIC a su práctica educativa estarán fuertemente condicionados por su formación al respecto. En este contexto, el docente se convierte en la pieza clave a la hora de impartir una educación de calidad y caracterizada por la equidad. Esta obra recoge la importancia de que el profesorado esté adecuadamente formado en TIC y en diversidad funcional y ofrece un recorrido por las principales tecnologías de apoyo, las cuales son un medio para facilitar los aprendizajes escolares y al mismo tiempo para individualizar la enseñanza. Este libro pretende ser una obra de utilidad para todos aquellos maestros y profesores concienciados sobre el valor de caminar hacia una educación inclusiva en la sociedad de la información y comunicación.
