700 word discussion: From this context, what is the functional role of the ICT? Identify and name the functional role of the ICT, and provide a narrative to support your response.

Chapter 19 – The digital divide remains formidable in scaling information and communication technology (ICT)-enabled opportunities for effective leadership and development in countries lagging behind, (Ahmed, 2015).  Based on the case study, the authors reminded us that, the practice of e-Participation provides an avenue for adaptation, application, and utilization of ICT as a subset of e-Commerce, in the realm of e-Democracy and, it is a concept needed to bridge the existing digital gap within and across countries in a global context. 

From the chapter, we learned that as the world moves at a faster and voluminous pace, there is a need to acquire technology and the skill to use it, as is increasing at the rate beyond those societies that are unable to remedy their inadequacies.  However, the challenges to meet this pressure could be enormous, but not insurmountable, and the means to address such challenges are abundantly available in ICT-supported processes like e-Participation.

Tableau project

The purpose of this project is to give you experience working in Tableau to build interactive dashboards. The data provided comes from LendingClub.com. Each row represents a $25 investment (called a “note”) in a loan. You have a lot of information about each note and the borrower – a majority of which you will not need. A data dictionary is provided, though it appears to not cover everything in the data. If you are unsure about something, make an assumption and proceed. You can go any way you want with this data to show anything you think is worth looking at. I encourage you to be creative. You will be graded on the overall quality of your resulting dashboard and work completed. Submissions SUBMIT A .TWBX FILE, NOT A .TWB FILE! You can do this via File – Save As – and selecting Tableau Packaged Workbook (TWBX) as the file type.
