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.
