Information about e-Commerce classes and Class Notes
Welcome
to e-Commerce at JSU. Most class meetings are conducted in the computer
labs in Merrill Hall. Most assignments will be completed using the World
Wide Web. Thus you can experience the global nature of the Web as you
learn from it. Mastering the content of the course and the process of
learning about the web are synchronous activities.
Students
will analyze a wide range of topics - primarily from MANAGEMENT and
PUBLIC POLICY perspectives, rather than a technological perspective.
Students conclude the course with a final presentation of a proposal
for a revenue generating Web site.
