To find the notes he wants, he can use the search bar at the top of the home page, which will search both the titles and the contents of notes and display hits in the title first in the results.

Design 2
In this design, notes are stored in a hierarchy that mimics a traditional directory hierarchy.

Account creation and login weren't really considered as significant in our designs, so they will likely just be standard forms for each of these designs. After logging in, the user will see the a hierarchy that will eventually contain folders and notes, organized however the user wishes(similar to a common file system window such as in Windows). Also similar to a familiar file system window, the folders and notes will be sortable by name and by the date of last modification. A search bar at the top will allow the user to quickly find a particular note or folder. Buttons at the bottom of the page will allow the user to create a new folder or a new note.

After a class is over, the user will likely wish to review the notes that were taken during class. In the text editor view, there is a "Review" button in the top right corner. This takes the user to another view that shows the same notes and video that the user created with the edit window, but they are not editable. One half of the screen shows the recorded video, and the other shows the notes that were typed. While the video is playing, the corresponding section of notes is highlighted to show how the video and the notes match up. Additionally, by clicking on a word in the notes, the user can jump to the part of the video that was happening while that word was written in the notes. This allows the user to find certain parts that they wish to review without having to seek through lots of video time. The top right of this view contains an "Edit" button, taking the user back to the edit window to make any necessary changes.

In this design, we allow a single level hierarchy that lets you put notes into different categories, and the list of notes is displayed on the same page as the editor. Rather than inserting pictures from a camera, this design allows us to harness the ease of typing things on a laptop and the ease of drawing things with a touchscreen by using a smartphone to create hand-drawn diagrams.

Image of first launch
The first time Ben uses SETENTS to take notes, he is presented with a standard account creation/login page. Once Ben creates his account, he sees the combined browsing / editing window. The first launch has an uncategorized, untitled notes document already open.

Reviewing notes is less interesting than in our second design, since it is essentially the same as editing. You can browse through the navigation pane and locate notes by title, or use the search bar, which functions as in the previous two designs.
