Research on learning shows that the straight lecture technique is not particularly effective. Lecture segments should be kept to a maximum of 20 minutes and be interspersed with other learning activities such as demonstrations, question and answer, class discussion, group learning projects, student presentations, etc. In order to meet the needs of diverse learners faculty are encouraged to supplement lectures with transparencies or Power Point. (Note: if not assigned to a room already equipped with technology, portable teaching stations equipped with a laptop computer and projection systems are available from the library. Also, all classrooms have an Internet connection) Given the nature of this course Faculty are expected to incorporate use of the Internet in their assignment and projects. Student have ample access to all Microsoft Office software so students can be required to word process any work submitted, as well as develop PowerPoint presentations of Excel worksheets. There are many types of projects that are excellent learning activities for Internet Marketing students. Some examples of projects that can be assigned to individuals or groups are: • Given a particular scenario, develop a marketing plan • Follow one e-company for a period of time and analyze their marketing strategy • Compare various e-marketing strategies • Create a marketing plan for a new e-product • Develop a marketing plan for opening a small e- business • Research the resources available for e-marketers • Develop a cost comparison for various e-marketing strategies Grading and Assessment Eventually, the Business Department will establish one or more assessment measures that students in every section of E-Marketing must complete. Faculty will be required to incorporate these into their assessment plan. For now, faculty may choose the methods by which they will assess student learning. Faculty are encouraged to use multiple methods of assessment and to assess student learning frequently. A midterm and final exam are insufficient measures of student learning. Some examples of assessment methods are: • Daily or weekly short quizzes • Unit exams (multiple choice and/or essay – a mix is best) • Student presentations, group or individual (a topic from the text, results of research, etc.); • Research reports or term papers either group of individual • Marketing plans • Case studies Class participation (Note: class participation grades cannot be based solely on attendance; they must reflect participation in discussion, responses to questions, etc., and should be recorded in the instructor’s grade book.)
