Communities of design practice in electronic government

As we move towards more online governmental services-electronic government or e-government-our information technology (IT) and human-computer interaction (HCI) designs must both broaden and deepen. In Georgia, we have fostered communities of design practice (CDPs) that focus on IT and HCI design at the statewide enterprise level through the Georgia Digital Academy (GDA). In this study, we utilized observational methods and a participatory analysis of the CDP formation in the GDA. Our findings and conclusions converge with the growing body of knowledge on HCI communities of practice. We report our results and recommendations on how CDPs might be utilized to build effective e-government.
