Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- CLEVELAND - CampusEAI Consortium today announced the availability of myMessages, a messaging module for targeted alerts and announcements.

myMessages will enable administrators, faculty and campus group leaders to send alerts and announcements to individual users, targeted myCampus communities, targeted myCampus eCourses, targeted LDAP groups and myCampus roles.

The myMessages feature was developed to streamline the communication process within the campus community and keep students, faculty, and other constituents aware of important information, including:
•   Schedule changes and closings
•   Class and event cancellations
•   Weather advisories
•   Traffic Notices

myMessages will give myCampus administrators the ability to delegate myMessages to authorized users and the ability to syndicate alerts and announcements from enterprise applications including:
•   SunGard  Banner
•   Blackboard


With myMessages, users will be able to receive alerts and announcements from the portal in a variety of formats, including:
•   myMessages Inbox
•   myMessages Lightbox  
•   myCampus Desktop Widget
•   E-mail
•   Short Message Service (SMS)

There are many benefits for members utilizing myMessages on their myCampus portal, including:
•        Administrators, faculty and staff can communicate with a single group or an entire campus by composing a single message
•        Users can receive alerts and messages in the format and device they are most comfortable with: smart phone, email, portal-based alert or text message
•         Important alerts and messages can be distributed and received even when users are away from their computer or logged off from the myCampus portal
•         myMessages is embedded with a rich text editor to provide portal administrators with increased control on text formatting
•         myMessages features a complete distribution and delivery tracking system to allow portal administrators to audit any and all messages sent across the board.

"We are pleased to announce the availability of myMessages in myCampus 7," said Anjli Jain, Executive Director of the CampusEAI Consortium. "Our members are consistently interested in the best ways to distribute alerts and announcements on their campuses. With myMessages, we are able to give them a way that is user-friendly, customizable and cost-efficient."

myMessages will be available in myCampus 7 and later versions. myCampus 7 is the latest release of the widely implemented myCampus Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Web 2.0 platform.
