The Marketing Project

esclh — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:44:15 +0000

Each student is required to create a blog based on an approved theme relating to marketing and advertising. The blog should provide an insight into the chosen topic and act as a forum for discussion.

We shall be using WordPress for this project as it is free, user-friendly and hosted.

All students must post at least one new entry to their blog each week. Posts must relate to the chosen topic and should contain original commentary. Quotes from other sources must be clearly identified and, wherever possible, linked to. Students must also post at least one comment per week on their classmates’ blogs. These are minimum requirements and further posts/comments are to be encouraged. Students will also be responsible for responding to any comments posted by classmates (or the teacher) on their own blog.

A links list should be created on the blog with links to sites relevant to the chosen topic. Links may point to web sites, other blogs or articles.

Each class member is required to subscribe to all of the other class members’ blogs using Bloglines, a news aggregator, using the RSS feed which WordPress creates automatically.

This project will count for one third of the ‘contrôle continu’ mark for S4.
