Diploma thesis analyses current methods of connecting an e-shop to e-mail marketing. A new application for said connection is proposed with its requirements based on this thesis. A complete design of this connection, containing a principle of connection and a form of rules for e-mail lists generation and transfer to specialized e-mail marketing applications are presented here. Proposed solution is implemented and fully documented.

Recent advances in the use of information and communications technologies in Higher Education have led to an explosion of interest in networked learning, which offers the potential for more open ended and flexible study in an ODL context. Anew generation of resource based courses in networked environments combines access to a wide variety of resources in electronic form, with the construction and negotiation of meaning through online collaborative interaction. This study set out to establish what assessment strategies might be appropriate to support student learning in this context. A case study of one Open University undergraduate course was undertaken over a three year period, with three cohorts of students, and the findings were compared with a short study of a second postgraduate course. The research explored perspectives on resource based learning in networked environments and highlighted aspects of assessment which appeared to support learning effectively. These findings led to the refining of assessment in later course presentations, demonstrating a successful interplay between evaluation and teaching practice. The study has confirmed that the assessment strategy must be aligned with the exercise of self-directed learning, whilst developing information handling and online collaborative skills, and allowing scope for open-ness and flexibility in content. The extent to which these criteria for design are important will depend on the stage of development of the students, and the aims, and degree of openness of the course. The experience here shows that it is important to identify and differentiate between appropriate skills required for a course, and those which the course will seek to develop, so that the assessment can reflect these aims.

Class of 2014 Abstract / Specific Aims: The primary aim of this project was to determine how receptive patients of Avella Specialty Pharmacy are towards using a mail-back medication disposal envelope by phone survey. This evaluated the hypothesis: participants in the Avella Pharmacy Medication Mail-Back Program will find the program helpful and easy to use. A secondary aim was to describe the participation in Avella’s pharmacy based medication mail-back program. This evaluated the hypothesis: Avella’s pharmacy based mail-back program will produce more participants versus non-participants. Methods: Patients of Avella Specialty Pharmacy with unused medications from discontinued prescriptions for any reason were offered a pre-paid Take Away™ envelope to dispose their medications. Each patient who accepted an envelope was called and asked about their experience using the envelope. Main Results: The majority of patients (58%) who were offered a medication disposal envelope agreed to receive one. All of the respondents surveyed indicated they would use their envelope to mail medications back. Patients of Avella Specialty Pharmacy think medication disposal envelopes are easy (100%) and helpful (97%) to use. Utilizing the trash or toilet to dispose of medications made up 41% of responses when asked about their usual method of medication disposal. A majority of respondents (74%) had not heard of a medication disposal program before Avella’s call regarding the envelope. Conclusion: Medication mail-back disposal envelopes are helpful and easy to use for disposing of unused medications among Avella Specialty Pharmacy patients. The majority of Avella Specialty Pharmacy patients are receptive towards receiving and using medication mail-back disposal envelopes.

Class of 2005 Abstract / Objective: To determine whether prescription medication vials are exposed to excessive temperatures during delivery by mail or truck by recording temperatures continuously throughout the delivery process. Methods: During one part of the study, temperatures were recorded, starting when the package, housing the prescription vial and digital thermometer, was placed in the mailbox in Phoenix and continued every 15 minutes until the package was retrieved from the researcher’s mailbox in Tucson. During the second component of the study, temperatures were recorded starting when the package was dropped off at the shipping facility and continued every 15 minutes throughout ground delivery by truck until the package was delivered to the researcher’s home. Ten trials were done for each arm of the study on five different days, with two packages for each arm being sent each time. Results: There were 1,300 temperature readings for the mail arm of the study. Five hundred twenty-two temperature readings were in excess of the desired range of 59-86ο F; for a percentage of 40.1%. For the truck arm of the study, there were 1,272 temperature readings. Three hundred sixty-nine temperature readings were in excess of the desired range; a percentage of 29.0%. Temperature readings ranged from 69.8-111.2ο F for the mailed packages and 70.7-120.5ο F for the packages sent by truck. Conclusions: Prescription medication vials are subjected to excessive temperatures during delivery by mail and truck.

The thesis aims to analyze and evaluate the current state of Czech email marketing. The author, based on his experience and supportive resources, compiled important criteria by which this analysis is performed on subjects from the field of ecommerce. The significance of all criteria and the ideal state in which they should be located are both outlined. The analysis objects are email campaigns (1439 samples) from selected subjects which the author has been collecting over 10 months. As a part of the work, in addition to the analysis itself, recommendations for improving and achieving quality and efficient email marketing, which has benefited both the sender and the recipient are also provided.
