Death to the Syllabus?

I recently read an article called Death to the Syllabus , which discusses syllabi that “… carefully lay out the rules for attendance, punctuality, extra credit, grades, and penalties for missing deadlines, as well as detailing writing assignment requirements…”. This was a very interesting article, because I find myself swaying between agreement and disagreement depending on the stage of the term and any specific experiences I might have had with a cohort.

Sport Management – ADDIE Style

These are my thoughts on sport management using the ADDIE model – there are some economies of scale gained from the sport marketing exercise I did earlier in the week. The Analyse phase in particular has a lot of similar material, but I have inclued here so this entry can be read independently of the Sport Marketing entry. The material I am using is from the College of Education, Idaho State University. Continue reading Sport Management – ADDIE Style

Co-branding is a marketing term that describes the associations that people create between one or more “things”. These can be anything from the smell of a sunscreen to a childhood holiday destination; for me Coppertone and Brooms Head). While co-branding is something that happens sub consciously, it is one of the fundamentals of marketing. Continue reading Co-branding of events

Viral social marketing: testing the effectiveness of the internet to effectively disseminate physical activity promotion messages

The post contains the abstract and poster presentation.

Hodgetts, D., Joyner, K., Mummery, K., Duncan, M., & Dobele, A. (2006). Viral social marketing: testing the effectiveness of the internet to effectively disseminate physical activity promotion messages. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 9(Suppl.), 36.

The project is the first of its type to explore the reach and effectiveness of an internet viral ‘social’ marketing campaign in disseminating physical activity promotion information using the internet. Social marketing is the application of modern marketing techniques to improve social well-being by changing attitudes and behaviour in regard to a specific product or concept—in this case health-related physical activity. Viral marketing is an approach that systematically facilitates and encourages people to pass along the selected marketing message using the individual’s own contact network.
