Welcome to The ATDP Locus -- all that's happening in the world of The Virtual ATDP (TVA).

INTRODUCTION
For an overview of this site, see the Introduction section. Also find there instructions on how to use this site, and guidelines for posting.

HEADLINES
The Headlines section is a weblog containing information on the latest goings-on at TVA. Go there to get the scoop on up-to-the-minute news and announcements on ATDP in the real world, as well as ATDP online.

FORUMS
Not only can you investigate, you can also participate: the Forums section is a discussion area, where you can post comments and questions on a variety of topics relevant to ATDP and TVA. Before you can post anything you must sign up for an account, using the "Create New User" link on the navigational area to the left.

WEBSITES
The Websites section contains a list of course websites for many ATDP classes. These sites are maintained and updated by course iTAs (internet TAs) or instructors, and contain news, information and commentary concerning those classes.

YEARBOOK
Group portraits for all ATDP courses can be found in the Yearbook section. These are organized by departments, with each class having its own portrait page, and a link to its course website.

RESOURCES
The Resources section is a clearinghouse of information on all aspects of academic pursuits. Here, you will find tried and true links (generated from recommendations by ATDP staff, faculty and students) to useful and practical sites on school- and schooling-related matters.

CHAT
Unlike most sites you've encountered on the web, this one is unique as it incorporates a live Chat area right on the web browser, alongside the weblog and discussion group functions. See the "Schedule" forum in the Chat section to find out if anyone has scheduled a live chat, or just click on the CONNECT button there to see if anyone's logged in to Chat.
