Goals

Preferential listing of content the user is interested in

Both the short-term and long-term user expressed concern for the lack of ability to find things they were interested in. The single-most important thing to both of the aforementioned user classes was the type of activity aligning with their pursuits. For our short-term user who did not care for doing community service, this was paramount for him to be even slightly excited about helping others. For the long-term user, given the nature of hiscommitment to the activity, being passionate for the work was a priority as well.

Easy to view database of opportunities

The long-term user remarked that a system in place like that used for the externship program at MIT would be useful to get more information on community service. In the particular example he gave of volunteering at a hospital, since each hospital puts its volunteers in different capacities with different time commitments, it becomes hard to keep track of the opportunities that work well with one’s requirements. This example generalizes to any number of community service events in different fields, where the interested party is looking for a subset of details about the event often not listed elsewhere.PLACEHOLDER
