Teaching methods and instruction

This online material consists of two parts.
First is a section of two quick orientation assignments and seven lessons, each one of them containing sub-lessons, topics, and the most important terminology of the digital marketing field. You can proceed through the lessons to the next lesson. There are quizzes which you must complete successfully to proceed to the next module. The minimum requirement to pass the course with the lowest grade is to complete this first part.
You can decide at what level you are aiming. You will write a marketing plan for a company you choose based on the lessons. The learning objective is to apply the learned concepts.
You have two options to discuss with the teacher if you have any questions. The times for online chat and Zoom are given on Moodle. They are during the first weeks of the course. You will get online feedback for your written assignment.

Working life connections

Depending on the goal the students will compile either two short digital marketing tasks or a longer digital marketing plan for a company they choose, either a company they know or a company of which they can easily find information online. Contacts to the company are not necessary. All the key concepts and areas discussed during the course can be applied directly to working life.

Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

Exams are online-based quizzes that can be completed according to the student´s schedule. However to obtain good results certain recommendations are given when they should be completed to be able to finish the written assignment as well.
