The submission method is detailed below.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

Social media presence requires persistence, showing up, and putting the yards in day in, week out. Whilst not a 24-7 coverage commitment, the eMarketing subject is an experiential journey, and skills development takes skill practice. You are going to be rewarded for engagement, participation, telepresence and the demonstrable application of your digital ‘soft skills’ set.

This will be assessed as an aggregated score over 10 (2% each) of the 12 weeks of content, with an emphasis on engagement. It’s not enough to show up, post the minimum 2 forum posts and head off again. You need to be a consistent part of the process to show improvement over time.

3. Integrate marketing knowledge into online experiences for businesses and consumers

eMarketing is going to be an experiential subject, with the opportunity to deep dive focus on a e-technology specialisation (eMarketing Technology Analysis and eMarketing Performance Review). Beyond this specialisation lies the development of the skill set on appraising, applying and transforming online opportunities into distinctly beneficial outcomes for ourselves and others. 

The ePortfolio is a reflective task, assembled over a number of weeks, as students explore different applications of the eMarketing theory, and internet based practice. It is designed to provide an ongoing, cumulative exploration of the development of personal skills around technology adoption, and a self analysis of the construction of value within the co-created environments of different internet platforms, products and experiences

3. Integrate marketing knowledge into online experiences for businesses and consumers
