Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)

- Knowledge and understanding: students will acquire knowledge to understand the impacts of the web on marketing processes in particular to manage all aspects of corporate communication, from the strategic choice to the operational phase to the control of results. In particular, they must know and be able to understand the needs of companies (especially small and medium-sized enterprises) in terms of web communication and to propose appropriate solutions to improve this communication.
- Applied knowledge and understanding: students will acquire the methodological tools and the necessary skills to develop web projects and to effectively define their implementation in different business contexts. They will be able to appropriately apply the acquired knowledge to analyze, understand and solve specific situations and problems of management of corporate communication and Internet marketing policies. These objectives will be pursued through testimonials from entrepreneurs and professionals, analysis and discussion of business cases, and group work.
- Autonomy of judgment: students will develop business evaluation methods and create flexible connections between the acquired knowledge. This objective will be pursued through testimonies, analysis, and discussion of business cases, group work, seminars, and short reports.
- Communication skills: learners will be able to develop a clear communication of the acquired skills and identify solutions through specific and appropriate languages coherent with the themes developed during the course. This will be pursued through the discussion of case studies and the presentation of the written group work.
- Ability to learn: students must develop good learning skills, which allow them to deepen the knowledge acquired during the course in subsequent learning paths (masters) or in future paths of insertion within companies or other organizations. This will be pursued through lectures, testimonies, analysis and discussions of business cases, group work, seminars, and report writing.

The group work consists of a communication project for a company that includes an analysis phase of the internal and external environment of the company in the digital era and a phase of elaboration of a communication plan, starting from the formulation of the digital communication strategy. The project concludes with the preparation of a written report. Group work allows the application of concepts, methodologies, and tools illustrated during the course for the purposes of analysis, critical evaluation, and the proposal of solutions to improve the communication and digital marketing strategy of the company operating in the business-to-consumer context.

Group work will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria: 1. the correct and effective application of concepts, methodologies, and tools, 2. the adoption of a specific technical language, 3. creativity,  4. feasibility, and 5. the completeness of the work.
