This course develops the basic concepts of digital transformation aimed at micro and small businesses focused on digital presence, management of social networks, and electronic commerce. The course will provide basic recommendations for the digital transformation of companies and ventures.

Delivered from the perspective of a small state, this course will share Singapore's policy, regulatory and economic development approaches to digital transformation in the digital economy. It will focus on how small states can maximise opportunities in the digital economy (such as in the areas of data, digital utilities, and emerging technologies) while mitigating the accompanying risks. The course will also explore how governments can work together with the private and people sectors.

This course is primarily based on the ITU/World Bank digital regulation platform with a focus on the following aspects: digital transformation strategies, regulatory governance, evidence-based decision making, regulatory sandboxes, competition and economics (market analysis), infrastructure sharing, universal access and service financing efficiency, data and consumer protection, cyber-security and resilience regulatory measures and strategies, and emerging technologies regulatory aspects.

The past two years have shown that digital transformation is no longer optional. It is a central tool for public service delivery, citizen engagement, and catalysing new industries and opportunities. Digital is a key enabler for development in Small Island Developing States, with a crucial role in building their resilience and economic recovery.

El objetivo del presente curso es ofrecer a los funcionarios públicos y otras partes interesadas en el ecosistema digital una formación introductoria en línea y autogestionada sobre un enfoque inclusivo y pangubernamental para la transformación digital de los pequeños Estados insulares en desarrollo. El curso se contextualiza en el Marco de Transformación Digital del PNUD y facilita una introducción a la transformación digital en los PEID, articulada en torno a los cinco pilares de la transformación digital de dicho marco: gobierno, infraestructura, regulación, empresas y población.

Os últimos dois anos demonstraram que a transformação digital já não é mais opcional. Ela é uma ferramenta central para a entrega de serviços públicos, engajamento de cidadãos e acelaração de novas indústrias e oportunidades. O fator digital é um facilitador chave para o desenvolvimento nos Pequenos Estados Insulares em Desenvolvimento (SIDS), com um papel crucial na construção de resiliência e na recuperação econômica desses países.

Ce cours consiste en une présentation de l'approche inclusive et pangouvernementale de la transformation numérique dans les petits États insulaires en développement, que les fonctionnaires et autres parties prenantes de l'écosystème numérique pourront consulter en ligne. Le cours s'articule autour du cadre de transformation numérique du PNUD et donne une présentation de la transformation numérique dans les PEID axée sur les cinq piliers de ce cadre: le gouvernement, l'infrastructure, la réglementation, les entreprises et le public.

The objective of this training course is to improve the participants' skills in the design and development of online courses. The course is made up of 5 modules. Participants will be invited to develop their own course by completing specific tasks and will have access to a range of open multimedia resources that will allow them to convert face-to-face course contents into online courses using a variety of media tools. NB: Module 5 is about Moodle features and tools, in general, as well as about the ITU Academy Moodle platform.
