Didactic methods

Lectures will be delivered in-person (the course is taught by two faculty members coordinated with each other), using relational and interactive methods, but will also be recorded to allow for asynchronous enjoyment. However, we clarify that the interactive moments in the classroom are hardly accessible from the video lessons. As it is a course on "relationships," "active" attendance is suggested, entering into direct relationships with high interaction, both in presence and remotely (via the course's Telegram group). Teaching will include classical frontal lectures, supplemented with exercises and cases to be developed individually or in small groups in the classroom, moodle or Telegram. Some lectures will be conducted by applying experiential teaching modes in presence.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists of the delivery of a digital relational marketing plan (achievable as a team), with mandatory individual oral presentation.
- Digital relational marketing plan: this is a written document of up to 20 pages (developable as group work, maximum 3 members, on the case proposed by the Italian Marketing Society (see premiomarketing.com). The plan must be submitted on moodle by the date of the oral exam.
- Mandatory oral presentation of the plan for theoretical-technical discussion of decisions made (individual).

In addition, up to 3 bonus points can be awarded to students who actively participate in the course (max 1 point) and/or participate in the project work proposed by the lecturers (up to 2 points). The project work is a business challenge with specific objectives and will be presented in class (more details in moodle) with delivery deadline by the end of the RDM (Relationship and Digital Marketing) course.
Foreign students should contact Prof. Signori for further information.

Evaluation criteria

Evaluation criteria for digital marketing plan including oral exposition= communication, organizational, learning, application, critical, and propositional skills will be taken into account. Specifically:
