The document discusses prototyping and testing an idea for connecting students, professors, and employers through a social network. The idea aims to help guide students and allow them to interact with alumni and employers. A storyboard is provided showing a potential interaction on the network between a student asking about applying a course, an alumnus responding with a real-life example, and a professor open to adding more practical examples to the course. Feedback on the prototype noted potential benefits like gaining practical skills and exposure to different areas through workplace learning, though improvements could include addressing needs for supplemental knowledge sources and establishing a process for students who change jobs or seek higher levels.
