We basically walked through the proposed prototype experience.

Flat pages - canned search results.

Should be clickable and interact-able – to simulate the experience – but there is not underlying business logic. the user is just clicking through a sequence of pages.

  1. Home Page
    1. Emphasis on Media – podcasts and video – and the broad array of offerings 
    2. Creating the "thrill and excitement" of learning material
    3. Prominent "mega-search" to invite people to find what they want
    4. Contains themes index
    5. Contains department index
  2. Search Result
    1. Provides categorized results
    2. Emphasis (for testing purposes) on "deeper content"
      1. Research
      2. MIT News articles
      3. Courses
    3. Shows faceted filters
      1. Subjects 
      2. Themes
      3. Type (free / paid)
  3. Course (or post) Detail Page
    1. Provides sign up information and CTA
    2. Offers recommended / related content
    3. Provides a mix of user generated content and "official content"
    4. May provide a "comment area" where most recent comments are displayed. 
  4. Theme page
    1. Similar to Home Page but focused on a single theme. 
    2. Room to launch a user into detailed discussions.
