DEVELOPMENT OF A BLENDED COURSE FOR ONLINE TEACHING: PROCESS AND OUTCOMES

In this study, we outline the different steps and strategies followed to develop an online formation program aimed to higher education teachers. The aim of this program is to provide with teaching competencies to face the challenges of the next decade’s classroom, with a special focus on the role of digital technology in learning environments, through a combination of a self-managed course with a guided on-site training with real cases. A multicultural, multidisciplinary team conceives this blended learning format, which applies a storytelling approach for content generation and communication. A detailed description of the different factors and stages followed to undertake the project is pr…

Impact of cause‐related marketing on consumer advocacy and cause participation: A causal model based on self‐reports and eye‐tracking measures

The influence of negative emotions on brand trust and intention to share cause-related posts: A neuroscientific study

Negative user-generated content provides cues that warn other consumers to avoid using a particular product or service.

The findings suggest that emotions with similar valence and arousal levels cause differing trust perceptions and consumer behavioral responses (sharing intentions), based on the presence or ab…
