metadata search mockups

[Colin Clark]

Hi Joanna,

I’m sorry for being so late to respond to this. They’re really nice mockups. 

A quick question: if the learner has already described their needs and preferences using something like Learner Options or the Exploration Tool, would the relevant filters be automatically selected for them? Or if not, how would search interact with your personal preferences set?

For example, selecting content with 'more words' finds content with text and also reveals the alt text for images and turns on transcripts for videos (when the resource is accessed). While selecting content with 'large text' increases the text size for all resources.
