WVPT
4 LEARNING SITE MAP
WVPT 4 Learning is designed
to reach educators and learners in the many populations
served by WVPT Public Television. The top navigation
tabs lead each identifiable education audience to
its audience main or "home" page. Each
audience main page has its own color scheme, its
own header images, and its own information, relative
to that audience. Don't worry that you will miss
something. We have cross-referenced everything across
the site, so information that is primary to one
population and secondary to another, is included
in BOTH places.

each Quick Link is. 
FINDING WHAT
YOU WANT
Our goal in redesigning WVPT
4 Learning was to make it easier for all educators
and learners in the extended education community
to find resources. However, if you're used to the
old site, you might be looking for something that
you just can't seem to find. Look for the old navigation
icons in the left column and follow across each
row to discover what you're looking for.
| You
used to click on these images on our old site... |
Now here's where
you'll find what you used to find... |
|

Our home page and each audience main page
(accessed by clicking on a tab at the top
of each page) has an area called "New
and Noteworthy." Follow the link that
says "Click for more" under any
news article, and you will go to the Newsletter
page. Or, follow the link that goes to a file,
such as the NTTI application or another form,
and you will access what we used to highlight
under "NewsFlash."
You can access the PDF file of the current
newsletter from the news page. If you are
interested in searching past news or receiving
the email newsletter we once offered, please
contact mmccarron@wvpt.net
so we might assess how important these options
are to our users.
