Online Account Management
Provides cardholders with a
web-based interface for
managing their universal
account.
In addition to viewing their
balance at any time, cardholders
can deposit funds to their
accounts online using a major
credit card. They can review
account statements that comply
with the Regulation E standard
as well as view records of sameday transactions. Finally, they
can report their card as lost or
stolen without having to visit the
campus card office.
35
Integrated Credit Card Payment Gateway
Enables institutions to accept
credit cards payments (including
Visa, MasterCard, American
Express and Discover) for
purchases as well as campus
account deposits.
This capability enables
institutions to cost effectively
process and settle these
transactions through
Blackboard.
36
Web Broadcast Announcements
Provides campus departments
with the tools to easily
distribute information to
students, faculty and staff
throughout the campus
community.
These announcements can be
easily updated and maintained
over time through the online
interface by the subject matter
experts – without requiring
knowledge of HTML or web
development tools.
37
Web Surveys and Opinion Polls
Offers campus departments the
ability to quickly and easily gather
information and feedback from their
campus constituents.
Through the easy to use web
interface, non-technical users can
develop online surveys and polls on
the fly, gathering valuable insight in
a cost-effective way.
38
Community Building Tools
Enables the institution to more
effectively collaborate and
communicate with different
campus constituencies.
These tools enable campus
departments (for example,
dining services, resident life,
parking and transportation, etc.)
to develop their own campus
community sites to distribute
content, communicate important
information and collaborate,
through an easy to use online
environment.
39
Multi-Institution Branding and Management
Facilitates separation of multiple
institutions, departments, or
groups on one Blackboard server.
For example, Dining Services,
Alumni Affairs and the Student
Association can each be given
their own domain and the ability
to manage and brand their
domain with the appropriate lookand-feel, including different
colors, logos, tabs, modules, and
channels.
System Administrators can assign
management of portions of the
system to individuals and groups,
enabling different constituencies
to independently manage their
own content and configuration.
40
Web e-Commerce with Shopping Cart
Provides an online storefront
capability and allows
administrators to create multiple
online stores. For example, the
campus Chemistry Department
can have one online store that
sells equipment and supplies
needed for labs and Campus
Parking can have another store
that sells parking passes.
This capability enables the
creation of a unified online
campus shopping environment
where account holders can pay
for goods and services with both
their campus accounts as well as
their credit cards.
41
Customizable Product Catalog
Campus merchants can build their
own product catalogs and tailor
those catalogs to specific sets of
users.
For example, alumni might be
interested in certain goods and
services while parents of students
may want a totally different type of
product.
42
Multiple Vendor Inventories and Order Fulfillment
Campus vendors can manage
their own inventory and
fulfillment processes. Vendors
enter available product
quantities and update quantities
as new inventory is available for
sale.
