As stated in your BCS syllabus and lesson schedule, there will be no face-to-face lecture next week (week 5 - 22-26 May). Instead, you will research on e-commerce websites for the question posted in the VBUS forum at block 6 labeled “Week 5 (e-learning): E-Commerce”. Please discuss your findings with your group members online in the forum, summarise your findings into a report and assign one member to submit your report in the link provided by 3 Jun (Sat). You will be asked to present your findings during your tutorial in week 6 (29 May – 2 Jun).
The objectives of the online assignment are to help you discover:1) different e-commerce websites2) features of e-commerce websites3) ways to develop and manage customer relationships4) critical factors for a website to be successful5) differences between an online store and a physical brick-and-mortar store and their advantages and disadvantages
Many of you have done well for the previous online assignments for the topic on Internet and WWW! Do keep up the good work for this research assignment! I’m sure you’ll experience the joy of discovering new things through your research!
