Community Engagement Help for Administrators

Welcome to Blackboard Community Engagement

The Community Engagement solution helps districts and schools improve communication within the community while reducing the resources needed to maintain that communication. Your district or school can select the features available in Blackboard Web Community Manager, Blackboard Mobile Communications App, Blackboard Mass Notifications, and/or Blackboard Social Media Manager that best serve your community.

With all these products, how can administrators manage the Blackboard Community Engagement solution?

Tied together with Blackboard Communications HQ: Using a single, web-interface for setup, administrators can configure the district and school settings for the community engagement solution and manage any user account details. Plus, through the same interface, administrators can send notifications, manage social media, manage the parent's mobile app, and view reports.
Not near a computer? No problem! You can use the Blackboard Communications HQ app on your mobile device and manage all your needs while on-the-go.
Learn about our Create Once Publish Everywhere (COPE) technology! Write your message once and select as many delivery options that are available to your district. Select phone messages, emails, your mobile site, your website, any RSS feeds, or social networks.
Just interested in the notification process? Send notifications, alerts, and messages to community members using the Blackboard Mass Notifications system. The Teacher Messaging system is also available with Blackboard Mass Notifications so teachers can send messages.
