Challenge Summary
The DARPA CS-STEM project goal is to develop an internet platform for education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), and especially focused on Computer Science (CS) education. That CS-STEM portal will be like a new entire TC website and will be dedicated to middle and high school students in USA (ages of 13 to 18) which will feature contests, activities, prizes and web-based entertainment shows designed to get students engaged and allow them to learn a lot of interesting topics in a user-friendly environment, which at the same time is productive and professional.
For this contest, we need to update the existing wireframe and make changes and additional features for the Teacher role functionality in the CS-STEM portal.

Primary Goal & Design Considerations
The goal of this contest it to update the Teacher role functionality of the provided wireframe with the features outlined below.
Requirements:
1) Teacher can only have one primary school association. The current wireframe shows the Teacher can have multiple schools; we need to remove this feature and replace it with single school only. The teacher should be prevented from associating him/her with a another school as well as creating a new school when (s)he is already has school associated to his/her profile.
Additionally, whenever there is an instance of associating a school to a Teacher, it should ALWAYS prompt the user to enter a valid school code, you should always utilize the use cases found in "Associate with a School" button. One good example that missed this functionality is when you try to "Create New School", type a few letters on "School Name" field, then click "Associate" link on the "List of Similar Schools" that shows up.
2) Add a feature that will allow the Teachers to create and administer forums specific to their classroom/code. Teachers should be allowed to do basic features of a forum such as creating forums, moderating a forum, and view member list.
Forum page should have:
- Main Forum page
- Thread page
Moderation page should have the following features:
- Manage Reported Thread or Posts
- Moving Thread or Posts
- Merging Thread or Posts
- Banning a Member and Manage Bans
View Member List should have the following pages and features:
- View Members' List page with a feature of Member list search
- View Member Profile details page with features of posting stats and posts history
You will NEED to create the above mentioned requirements over the provided wireframe. The ARS document is provided for you reference only.
Target Audience
This application will be used by Teachers that will administer forums related to their classes. These users may NOT have great technical knowledge and designing a layout that makes use and meaning as clear as possible, and that makes helpful info as easily accessible as possible is really important and highly valued.
