1.ScopeProvides new, current students and alumni information on used and new items for purchase on the web: Items - include books, furniture items,

cars and apartment leases Open only to current students and

alumni to post and search listings

2.Objectives Replace physical bulletin boards and do

away with their cost of maintenance

3. Problem definition UHCL does not have an online Bulletin Board where

students can post information on items for sale Currently flyers approved by Student Life are

posted on traditional bulletin boards in the Bayou Building

Due to limited space on the physical board, over time flyers get covered with other postings, students could miss some postings

Time consuming to look for relevant postings Expired and unauthorized flyers have to be

physically removed

4. Limitations of Traditional Bulletin boards

• Hard to read• Time consuming• Unorganized• Overcrowded• Missing information• Easy to remove• Difficult to regulate• Difficult to maintain

5.Benefits of a Web-based Bulletin

system Develop the system

7.Project Plan (Contd…) Test the system Evaluate the system Make changes if required Conduct usability testing of the web

interface Redesign front-end if needed Complete system documentation Undertake training activities

Few students logging on to post listings would affect the popularity of the system as a tool to search for items

Need for university wide promotions and advertisements

number of items being listed is restricted to – used cars, furniture, apartment leases and books

A miscellaneous section could be provided to post general items

bulletin board Students would benefit a great deal from

such a web-based system Stronger, Faster and Harder to break
