The course primarily targets non-ICT students and professionals, working and/or studying in Estonia, who are interested in widening their knowledge about e-government in general, and internet voting, in particular; but applicants from ICT backgrounds and other external participants are also welcome to the course.
Students who successfully complete weekly quizzes will receive the University of Tartu certificate.
During the MOOC, participants will learn about the theory and foundational pre-requisites of e-government in Estonia; diffusion and usage of electronic voting; impact on voter turnout and electronic results as well as behavioural aspects and the future of internet voting. The course is unique in employing a wealth of empirical evidence - including 10 years of survey data on e-voting, actual log data on voting sessions and aggregate election data - to demonstrate the development and usage of internet voting.
