Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce

• Quand aurai-je accès aux vidéos de cours et aux devoirs ?

  L’accès à des vidéos de cours et des devoirs dépend de votre type d’inscription. Si vous suivez un cours en mode auditeur libre, vous pourrez voir la plupart des contenus de cours gratuitement. Pour accéder aux devoirs notés et obtenir un certificat, vous devrez acheter une expérience de certificat, pendant ou après avoir assister au cours en tant qu’auditeur libre. Si vous ne visualisez pas l’option auditeur libre :

  • Il est possible que le cours ne propose pas d’option auditeur libre. Vous pouvez en revanche accéder à un essai gratuit ou faire une demande d'aide financière.

  • Le cours propose peut-être « Cours complet, aucun certificat » à la place. Cette option vous permet de voir tous les contenus de cours, de soumettre les évaluations requises et d'obtenir une note finale. Cependant, vous ne pourrez pas acheter une expérience de certificat.

• À quoi ai-je droit si je m'abonne à ce Certificat ?

  Lorsque vous vous inscrivez au cours, vous bénéficiez d'un accès à tous les cours du Certificat, et vous obtenez un Certificat lorsque vous avez réussi. Votre Certificat électronique est alors ajouté à votre page Accomplissements. À partir de cette page, vous pouvez imprimer votre Certificat ou l'ajouter à votre profil LinkedIn. Si vous souhaitez seulement lire et visualiser le contenu du cours, vous pouvez accéder gratuitement au cours en tant qu'auditeur libre.

• What are digital marketing and e-commerce?

  Digital marketing is about connecting people and brands online. Digital marketing uses social media, display advertising, email, search engines, and other online channels to attract and engage customers, encourage them to make purchases, and build customer loyalty.

  E-commerce refers to the trading of goods and services over the internet. E-commerce uses online platforms to buy and sell products and services, which includes designing an online store, crafting product listings, conducting market research, fulfilling orders, and analyzing store performance.

• What do digital marketing and e-commerce specialists do?

  Digital marketing and e-commerce specialists perform a variety of tasks related to advertising and selling online. Different companies define these roles in various ways, but there is often overlap between them. Some common responsibilities include planning and creating ads and other content for websites, social media, and email; optimizing content for search engines; analyzing data to gain marketing insights; managing online stores; and creating and updating product listings.

• Why start a career in digital marketing and e-commerce?

  During the pandemic, hiring for digital marketing and e-commerce related jobs boomed as more businesses moved online—between February and April 2020, e-commerce grew more than it had in the previous decade.

The rise of automation, machine learning, and new technologies in e-commerce and digital marketing means candidates will be expected to demonstrate knowledge in the use of digital technologies, which is currently a skills gap that leaves roles unfilled.
