What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
In this paper, you will learn about the most important digital business technologies for organisations today. We want you to understand these technologies from a research perspective, and develop the skills necessary to critically review the digital business technology and related research. Material and learning opportunities are delivered through a range of resources - video, readings, discussions, cases studies, and interactive with some digital technologies. You will have an opportunity to research a subject of interest to you and prepare your own set of video lectures and resources for the rest of the class to watch and comment on. The major "capstone" project for this paper is the preparation of a research-based e-poster.

How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content

This is a fully online paper. There is no physical interaction with the class teacher(s) or fellow students. You are largely free to watch the online lectures when you wish, although you need to keep to schedule with the assignments. Guidelines for how to navigate through the paper will be provided in the first week. Each week the lecturer will hold a class discussion/chat via zoom which you may join where the lecturer will talk about the paper, assessment, and relevant digital business news. While most weeks this is optional, students generally find this a great opportunity to connect with others and ensure they are on track. Some weeks the lecturer will indicate this is more important to attend.

Please note - Lectures are delivered online through Moodle. In addition to this, there is a weekly class discussion / chat session on Zoom. Please find the Zoom link on the paper Moodle page.
