techannounce Options

[pebkac]

Based on a year of gathering input from the TTU
community and reviewing our IT Helpdesk tickets,
the IT Division has added new features to
TechAnnounce. Our current student
TechAnnounce and employee TechAnnounce will
be replaced by a more sophisticated
announcement system. The enhanced
TechAnnounce delivers messages based on
categories that each student, faculty, or staff
member selects (opt in/out). Beginning on Monday,
October 1, 2007, the new features of
TechAnnounce will be available for the TTU
community.

Based on three years of actual TechAnnounce
submissions, the following major categories were
created:
• Campus Events
- Arts & Entertainment
- Athletics
- Lectures & Seminars
- Orientation
• Fund Raiser
- Departmental Events
- Faculty/Staff Organization
- Student Organization
• General Announcements
- Academic
- Departmental
- Faculty/Staff Organization
- Student Organization
• Intramurals/Outdoor Pursuit Center
• Property Inventory Exchange
- Computing Equipment
- Non Computing Equipment
• IT Announcements
• Research
• Student Employment Opportunities
• Training
- Administration & Finance Information Systems Management
- Quality Services & Professional Development
- Small Business Development Center
- Teaching, Learning, & Technology Center
- TTU IT Training

In addition, the enhanced TechAnnounce will
include the following features:
• More “friendly” software design;
• Better navigation/menu structure; and
• Improved message editing and delivery.

extensive usability testing. For additional
