The purpose of this task is for current MIT students to share their experiences with regards to a particular aspect of MIT life.We will assume the user is a current student of MIT (this will be verified by certificate login) who has personal knowledge of student life. This task of story input and submission will be easily learned by trying it through an intuitive interface.
The preview feature allow the user to proofread what s/he has written before final submission to check for errors. Nonetheless, a user could still submit his a story for the wrong dorm or accidentally say that others cannot ask questions about a story and intend to say yes. Other things that could go wrong with the site includes users who submit malicious stories about different dormsmark that people may not ask follow-up questions, in which case they are able to delete the story and create a new one.
A potential use case would be students submitting malicious stories about other dorms. We may include an option to report stories for spam or abuse, or simply have an option to notify the webmasters/moderators to remove the story manually.
