Use Case 12

Summary

This database has the potential to become quite large. Users will need a simple interface to indicate those assessment items (from multiple assessments) that they would like returned. The format of the returned items must also be straight-forward for the typical faculty member to use.

Preconditions

Assessments have been uploaded and parsed into the database.
Assessments can be queried.

Basic course of events

Faculty member has queried the database on lateral gene transfer.
The database returns hundreds of assessment items.
Presentation of those hundreds of items: Perhaps Web of Science could be used as a model. There is a check box to the left of the item (the item title is returned. In this instance, the question or a truncated, 2-line version of the question could be returned). Ten to twenty items returned per page. User can check those items s/he is interested in, which are placed in a basket. When user is done/tired of browsing through the hundreds of responses, s/he clicks on their saved list and has the option of downloading the information in one of multiple ways (saving to a file, printing or e-mailing).
Format of returned items: This is beyond me - database development team, what are your thoughts?
