Public collaborative legislation: A case study of the ingenios act

Abstract:

Collaborative working environments have commonly been used by companies which also use information and communication technologies that allow synchronous and asynchronous real time interactions between individuals who share common objectives and work. These strategies have proven to be very effective for the private sector and can be adopted by public administration to encourage participation from citizens and eventually result in empowerment of societies. In this paper, a case study on public collaborative legislation, termed Wiki Legislation, is used for the analysis and development of an Act. The Act generated during the implementation of this project aims to integrate the systems of Science, Technology, Innovation and Ancestral Knowledge with Education, Higher Education and Culture in Ecuador. In this work, the design of the project, as well as a user-centered evaluation was conducted. Recommendations on how to enhance the development of future collaborative legislation projects are provided.
