On the homepage there is a list of items with checkboxes in which you input desired classes, skills, or interests that you would like your student to have.  The user then clicks the search for students button which takes them to the second screen which contains a list of students who match any of the criteria from the first page.  The students are sorted by how many of the criteria they match, so you can easily find which students may be the best.  If you click on a students name, their row will expand to give you more information about the student such as what grades they got in the classes you selecte or how much experience they have in the skills you selected.



This is my stretch.  This is a physical interface for our device.  It is a series of cards (as shown in the image.)  At the top of each card are holes that align with a skill/course set.  The cards stack on each other.  To find students with a specific attribute, you would then slide a pin into the slot in question and pull out cards.  The cards removed lack the attribute in question, thus the remaining pile only contains valid candidates.

To do a side-by-side comparison, the user of the system can just physically just spread the remaining cards out next to each other.



The home page.  The user sees a list of postings.  Ones that are theirs would be marked in a different color.  (Login system not depicted.)  Ones that are theirs also include reply information.  If it was not theirs, it would have an "Apply" link for candidates to apply.
