The Digital Marketing Revolution

In this module you will examine Digital Dominance. Specifically, you will learn why some Analog products and services are becoming dominated by the Digital Revolution.

This module will then explore two key concepts: Efficiency and Democracy. In addition to learning about these two concepts, you will also have the opportunity to apply them through a real-world case study (U of I Credit Union) as well as a hands-on exercise (Purchase Online). At the end of this module, you will learn some research insights from Professor Donna Hoffman (George Washington University). As a result of these various learning activities, you will develop a deep understanding of Digital Dominance.

In this module you will examine Analog Resistance. Specifically, you will learn why some Analog products and services are resisting the Digital Revolution. After introducing the concept of Analog Resistance, you will engage in a vicarious learning activity with University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff (trying out an adult coloring book).

In addition to learning about these two concepts, you will also have the opportunity to apply them through a real-world case study (Willard Airport) as well as a hands-on exercise (Visit a Physical Store, Part 1). At the end of this module, you will learn some research insights from Professor Markus Geisler (York University). As a result of these various learning activities, you will develop a deep understanding of Analog Resistance.
