Reducing frustrations, administrators can use OpenVue’s robust online modules to add and remove courses and class sections, manage students’ financial aid, and access real-time information about the progress and content of faculty selecting their course materials.

But these activities are just part of what OpenVue’s tools provide; the transparent view into our distribution system gives staff and advisors real-time information about the progress, content and timing of student orders. With this information staff can intervene with students whose delay in purchasing materials may be an early warning they are experiencing academic difficulties. And this timely intervention can become an effective retention tool.

Students can go online 24/7 to view current course materials requirements, and then purchase them on the spot. With easy-to-access information and easy-to-purchase tools, advisors will be relieved of much of the hand holding that inevitably happens when students arrive at their offices confused about what to purchase, holding the wrong books already purchased, or worse, with no materials at all because the bookstore was out. OpenVue displays ED MAP’s inventory in real time.

So save everyone time and worry. And save money, too, because there are no charges for using OpenVue when ED MAP is designated as your preferred online bookstore. Click here to learn how ED MAP can partner with your institution today.
