This site has four different portals to navigate. A portal is a path through the site. These
portals have been created to ensure that people with different interests
and disabilities can find similar content and not miss important parts
of the narrative or valuable information.
Storyline: This section linearly tells the story
of the Jordans as depicted in The Ties That Bind Film Documentary. Navigating
this section can be done by clicking the next and back buttons. At the
end of each chapter there are related links, books, videos, worksheets,
polls, discussions, events and stories. A new chapter will be released
every three months starting in the winter of 2003 until the fall of 2004.
Topics and Issues: This section pulls important
topic issues out of the main story of The Ties That Bind Film Documentary.
Each one of these nine topics is contained on a single page and also correlates
to related information in a column on the right hand side.
Explore: This interface is an animated site map
that uses Flash technology. It allows you to see all the content at once
under the headings of People, Video, Your Stories, Discussions, Events,
Polls, Worksheets, Articles and Books and Links. This interface is navigable
using key commands. All the content in this interface can be found in
simple HTML format in alternative areas of the site or in the Site Map
Pages in the Search and Ask section.
Search and Ask: This section allows you to search
using key words or browse specific items in the Site Map Pages. There
is a form where you can reach PLAN Institute to ask specific questions
about the site using email. As the site grows Frequently Asked Questions
can also be found in this section.
