3. Learning Outcomes for the item of assessment
This item of assessment covers the following learning outcomes. For the full list of learning outcomes for the module, please refer to the Module Study Guide.
• Understand the digital landscape and explain how it differs from traditional marketing management. The digital landscape refers to the online environment in which businesses operate and interact with their customers. It includes a range of digital channels and platforms, such as social media, websites, mobile apps, and online marketplaces, that businesses use to reach and engage with their customers.
A main differences between the digital landscape and traditional marketing management is the level of interactivity and engagement that is possible. In the digital world, businesses can interact with their customers in real-time through channels such as social media, messaging apps, and live chat. This allows businesses to build relationships with their customers and get immediate feedback on their products and services.
Another difference is the amount of data and analytics that are available in the digital landscape. Digital marketing platforms such as Google Analytics and social media analytics tools provide businesses with detailed insights into their customer’s behavior, preferences, and demographics. This allows businesses to better understand their target market and tailor their marketing efforts to more effectively reach and engage with their customers.
In contrast, traditional marketing management is typically less interactive and relies more on one-way communication channels such as print and broadcast advertising. It also has limited access to data and analytics, making it more difficult for businesses to accurately target and reach their customers.
The digital landscape offers businesses a range of opportunities to interact with their customers and gain valuable insights into their behavior and preferences. While traditional marketing management is still important, the digital landscape is increasingly becoming the main focus for businesses looking to connect with their customers and drive growth.
• Explain the technology and management of data and analytics that drive digital marketing and underpin its success.
• Explain the facets of the digital consumer and the research tools that enable such an explanation.
• Explain and analyse the principles of web design, website management and usability and their role in the success of digital marketing initiatives.
1 The grade is provisional until confirmed by the relevant assessment board(s).

4.3 Submission requirements
You are required to submit this assignment by Friday/9 November 2018/3 pm. You must submit your assignment by using the Turnitin gateway in the module’s Canvas site.

5. Extensions and Mitigating Circumstances
Applications for extensions and mitigating circumstances, with supporting evidence (such as medical certificates), should be made through the Student Self-service Portal (SSP).
5.1 Extensions
If a student experiences unforeseen circumstances that may prevent the student submitting an assignment at the first opportunity, it is possible to request an extension of up to two weeks. The length of extension requested will be evaluated by the Academic Administrator.
The granting of an extension will depend upon the nature of the difficulty the student is experiencing, whether the difficulty could and should have been anticipated, and the extent to which the circumstances were outside of the student’s control. For example, health difficulties would usually provide legitimate grounds for an extension; last minute computer issues or clashing deadlines would not. If an extension of up to two weeks is not sufficient the student should make a claim for mitigating circumstances.
NB: No extensions can be granted for TCAs and examinations.
5.2 Mitigating circumstances
If a student is unable to sit an exam or submit an assignment, the student may be able to claim mitigating circumstances, which, if accepted, would allow the student to complete the assessment for the first time at a later date, and receive an uncapped mark for it. The exam would be taken at the next sitting or the assignment would be submitted at the next submission opportunity, following the acceptance of the student’s mitigating circumstances. A claim for mitigating circumstances must be submitted before the original date for submitting the assignment or sitting the exam.
Mitigating circumstances are defined as a serious or acute problem, or an event beyond a student’s control or ability to foresee, which has prevented completion of assignment/s or attendance at examination/s. If a student is experiencing unforeseen or unexpected events – such as serious illness or severe disruption to their personal life – that may affect the student’s ability to take assignment/s or sit examination/s, the student should meet with their Module Leader, Course Leader or a Student Success Advisor to discuss the available options.

6. Word Limits
All written assignments include clear guidance on the maximum amount that should be written in order to address the requirements of the assessment task (a ‘word limit’).
If the submission exceeds the word limit by more than 10%, the submission will only be marked up to and including the additional 10%. Anything over this will not be included in the final grade for the item of assessment.
Abstracts, reference lists, and footnotes are excluded from any word limit requirements.
Where a submission is notably under the word limit, the full submission will be marked on the extent to which the requirements of the assessment task have been met. Generally speaking, submissions under the word limit fall short of the requirements of the assessment task.
