There are no prerequisites for this course.

No prior knowledge required.

Organisations increasingly have to invent new models and strategies to take advantage of Information Technology¿s growing importance. Consequently, society needs to educate leaders for this emerging digital society, leaders capable of detecting and assessing the threats to traditional social and business models as well as how to take advantage of the opportunities information technology represents.
In addition, students will acquire a basic understanding of the technology behind digital marketing.

Today, Internet has become a key element in the production and distribution of a growing number of products and services. In many cases, it is an essential component of those very products and services. At the same time, Internet is fundamental for the growing number of interactions between consumers, between companies and between consumers and companies. In this course students will learn to use the necessary tools to launch an Internet-based company or organisation and to implement a personal project, respond to a market or social need as well as resolve an organisational problem within a business or social organisation.

The ultimate aim is for future executives and social leaders to think creatively about IT applications, helping them to develop their skills as entrepreneurs or ¿intrapreneurs¿ in terms of digital technology. For this students will be given the necessary knowledge and tools to design, build, produce (domain name, hosting, etc.), publish, promote and position the website. One trait of the course is that all the tools used are ¿open source¿ (that is, free and freely distributed), used in practically 80% of today¿s websites.

1. Tool installation

2. HTML5 and CSS3: Static website creation

3. JavaScript: Interactive website creation

4. Promotion and traffic analysis

The course will alternate guided exercises with work on the final team project.
