Presentation of the subject


To provide knowledge of corporate communication techniques and the use of the internet for marketing, and to study the technological base that makes these techniques possible. The problem will be analyzed from a corporate point of view and the technical solutions and their limitations. In the practical part, a real challenge will be presented that will have to be solved by applying the use of information technologies by putting into practice concepts, techniques and methodologies of corporate communication and marketing.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, whether towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Activities and evaluation system


The final grade of the course will be obtained from the following weighting:

  • Project grade (group): 60%
  • Co-assessment (individual): 10%
  • Tracking (individual): 10%
  • Defense (individual): 20%

Co-evaluation and monitoring will determine individual participation and involvement in the project. Non-active participation in the completion of the project (failure to pass the co-evaluation and follow-up) results in suspension of the subject.

If the Co-evaluation and Monitoring grades are failed, or/and if the final grade is less than 5, the student may take a retake exam, on the dates defined in the exam calendar. The retake exam does not count towards the project grades.

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the school's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship. Furthermore, for the particular case of this subject, the use of generative artificial intelligences (IAGs) must be limited to those aspects that are not fundamental in the context of the subject. They can be used, critically, as a mechanism to resolve doubts about the subject and/or to improve the writing of deliverable documents and/or as an aid in the generation of auxiliary code that falls outside the scope of the subject's topics. In the second case (improvement of writing) the participation of IAGs in the writing must be made explicit in the document. In the latter case (code generation) it will be essential to mention its nature as “generated through IAG” by explaining the model used and the prompt supplied, even if it has been subsequently personalized and/or modified. In the face of doubts regarding the legitimacy or not of the use of IAGs, it is necessary to contact, a priori, the teaching staff of the subject.
