Criteria for the assessment will include, but is not restricted to:
1. Context;
2. Content;
3. Ease of navigation;
4. Overall attractiveness/brand clarity;
5. Attributes respective to consumer engagement and opportunities for 2-way interaction/co-creation;

2. Direct Wine Sales and promotion Strategy (Group Assessment) 30%
In groups of 3 or 4 each group must develop a strategic direct wine sales plan. This includes using media and other forms of communication to ‘drive’ wine consumers to the wine brand website. This strategy may rely on the existing brand changing some aspects of their existing web-site (e.g. to make buying easier or more engaging). It isn’t enough to ‘tinker’ around the edges of an existing brand strategy. Students must demonstrate their abilities to use the theory and concepts discussed in class and the findings of their own literature research to critically assess existing strategy and develop an integrated strategic plan aimed and achieving wine sales online and encouraging repeat sales.
The brands students can choose from are the following: Jacob’s Creek, D’Arenberg, Alpha Box & Dice, Unico Zelo, Shaw & Smith, Yalumba, Tahbilk, Brown Brothers, Mollidooker, and First Drop.
Students will be rewarded for succinct logical argument reflecting engagement with relevant readings, text and other relevant materials, correct referencing, appropriateness of references and overall presentation (clarity, spelling, grammar and punctuation).

The report MUST be presented in poster format according to the guidelines provided on the My Uni website. Students are expected to use between 10 and 20 references in their report. References do not count towards the word/page limit.
All posters will be presented by the respective groups in Day 6. Failure to display the poster will result in a mark of 0 (zero) for this component.

The posters must be submitted via the MyUni website before Sunday 8th November, 2020 11:59pm (ACST).

Each peer review should take into account the following aspects of the poster:
1. Content (250-350 words)
2. Style & Presentation (100-150 words)
3. Referencing (max 50 words)

Each student has to create a video of him/her explaining how the assigned scenario is going to impact on their brand, and the marketing strategies/actions they would adopt to keep their brand successfully in business. As the students explain, justify and defend their arguments, they have to cite the relevant literature discussed throughout the course, but they can extend their discussion using other academic and industry references, books, etc.
The video must be no longer than 10 minutes (2,000 words equivalent). Videos longer than 10 minutes will receive a 15% mark deduction per minute for every minute exceeding the 10-minute limit.
The videos must be submitted via the My Uni website before Wednesday 25th November, 2020 at 11:59pm (ACST).
Students have to make it perfectly clear who they are by showing their student ID card at the beginning of the video. Failure to show their student ID card will make it impossible to verify student identity, thus resulting in a grade of 0 (zero) being awarded for the problem-solving exercise.
Before submitting the videos, students must ensure that they have created a back-up copy of their video.

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
