E-governance is not the result of internal
expansive development of ICT within institutions
The expansion of e-government does not just
come about from the presence and strength
of ICT in each university but it is to a greater
extent due to a demand for social and
technological change as a result of the
expansion and all-pervasiveness of ICT in
digital networked society

As governments use Information government is not
information technologies another stage of electronic

becoming less comfortable in conceptual lens that offers a
simply delegating technology- complementary perspective to
related issues to technology understand the changing
managers nature of government and its
(Pornchai: 2007) relationship to the citizenry”

E-participation
MyUniversity will create an advanced e-Participation platform
that offers several different interactive tools based on Web2.0
technology, allowing university members and stakeholders to
easily participate in the policy-making process of the higher
education area. The platform will also leverage the success
of social networks such as Facebook, by advertising its
content on them in order to “hook” new users.
