Your brother is chatting with you online and finds out you are taking an e-Commerce course. However, he says you have a horrible habit of just making things up. He asks you the following questions. He will not believe your answers unless you provide some proof, as he is a graduate student and wants to see clear and supported evidence. Complete both 1 and 2 in your main post. You will need to support Questions 1 and 2 with scholarly sources.
- Identify and define, in your own words, the three internet foundational technologies.
- Identify two services that the internet and web offer that can directly contribute to an e-Commerce solution, such as your proposal. Explain those two services, with examples.
When you respond to your peers, choose responses that include different services from what you chose. Focus on different ways to support e-Commerce
Response Parameters
Prompts for this course are not opinion questions and should, therefore, be supported with scholarly sources. You can use the textbook, but that does not count as your obtained scholarly source.
Scholarly sources should be from current peer-reviewed journal articles (published within the last 36 months) and support your content. So, one of your sources for each of your main posts needs to be published in a valid scholarly journal within the last 36 months—older will not “count” as your supporting source. However, you may include older sources, in addition to more current ones, to further support your posts.
The Proposal requires you to propose a solution that will be supported with sources, as you will be asking to be funded. The discussions allow you to practice this approach. Scholarly sources carry more weight, as they have been validated. Wikipedia, for example, is not a valid source for an academic environment.
Peer responses should also be supported with sources that can be from the textbook, peer-reviewed journal articles, and other reputable sources.
- Initial responses are due by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET
- Posts should be 300 words in length
- A minimum of one obtained scholarly source is needed, and it should be included in the reference list at the end of the post
- All content from the source should be properly cited or quoted in the post, using APA or MLA format. Reminder that quoted content should make up no more than 20% of your post and should be reserved for content, such as statistics and dollar amounts. Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.
