Preface
The e-Skills for Knowledge Production and Innovation Conference (e-Skills 2014) is a collaboration between the Ikamva National
e-Skills Institute (iNeSI) and the Informing Science Institute (ISI). iNeSI, as part of its mandate, is responsible for creating a
platform to promote new knowledge for innovation in South Africa. ISI provided academic paper review and support for delegates.
The e-Skills conference aims to address issues of interest to individuals, business, government, and civil society, promoting e-literacy, e-astuteness and in developing and supporting e-skills (ICT skills) at all levels of life
and work. The focus of the conference is the strategic and efficient use of modern ICT devices and applications as well as the
related knowledge, skills, competences, teaching, learning, and inventiveness of the workforce and citizens. The conferences
promotes research that provide insights for improving effective appropriation of modern ICT devices and applications into service
delivery, more effective use of service delivery by citizens, business efficiency, entrepreneurship, education and more cohesive
and equitable living in society. We particularly stress the importance of evidence-based research and approaches that are found to
be effective.
About the Ikamva National e-Skills Institute
The Ikamva National e-Skills Institute (iNeSI) has been specifically developed to suit South Africa's needs
following six years of incubation and testing within Department of Communications. It has benefitted from first hand examination of
international best practice in Korea, USA, Mexico, UK, Ireland, Kenya, Rwanda, Australia, New Zealand, and Cuba. The process has
been supported by formal agreements with more than 30 key national and international stakeholders across Government, Business,
Education, Civil Society and international donor agencies. iNeSI operates as a catalytic aggregator of effort to support South
Africa's National Development Plan (NDP); an identifier of overlap, duplication and gaps; a motivator, leader and facilitator of
evaluation of impact of interventions; and as a lead contributor to policy development to address inequity and poverty through
appropriation of modern ICT devices and applications. iNeSI supports impactful trans-disciplinary research methodologies and is in
the process of building increased South African capacity in Case Method (research and discussion) as a means to more effectively
analyse and engage multi-disciplinary stakeholders in improving South Africa's global e-readiness rankings. iNeSI welcomes all
researchers and seeks to develop collaborative, comparative and longitudinal studies that can improve policy, praxis, teaching, and
capacity in participant jurisdictions.

About the Informing Science Institute
Informing science
is the transdisciplinary study of systems that employ information to impact clientele. The mission of the Informing Science Institute is to:
· Support transdisciplinary research that furthers our understanding of the construction and evolution of systems that inform,
providing free and open access to such research,
· Foster communication among disciplines that study informing and education, and
· Nurture a supportive global community of informing science researchers through mentorship and through providing
opportunities and venues for collaboration.
The Informing Science Institute's (ISI) primary reason for existence is to promote the advancement of the informing
science transdiscipline across the global research community. Three principles guide the ISI's research and publication agenda:
-
Open access
: All ISI publications, including conference proceedings, journals, repository contents and books, shall be accessible in their
electronic form at no cost to readers.
-
Global outreach
: The ISI's research agenda shall always be framed with the global community in mind, and shall not be limited by the
perceptions and priorities of a particular nation.
-
Mentorship
: Helping researchers develop and refine their craft is as central to ISI's philosophy as providing outlets for the efforts of
established researchers. This mentorship mission applies to both the conferences run by ISI and to the review and publication
policies of its journals.
