World Book Encyclopedia | 625 MB

Offering high-quality information in an attractive package, The World Book is a first choice for libraries, schools, and homes. Articles in World Book generally include links to related information, both within the encyclopedia and online, in addition to questions for review. The latter helps motivated children process the information they have read. Children can easily place "sticky notes" in articles for future reference, and they can use a nice highlighting feature that works much like a regular highlighter pen. Children use this tool to mark selected text in yellow.

The encyclopedia has a built-in, child-friendly dictionary. If children stumble upon words in an article that stump them, they can simply double-click the word, and a definition of the word (or a close match) will appear in a pop-up window. The program also features an easy-to-use Atlas. The maps are interactive, quite detailed, and available in different views, such as climate, historical development, and population density maps. Different types of Homework Wizards are available for help with preparing reports, charts, and even quizzes.

The amount of multimedia content in an electronic encyclopedia is important for stimulating interest, but perhaps more critical is how the multimedia is used. Multimedia is liberal and creatively distributed throughout the World Book articles. World Book features plenty of pictures, videos, audio clips, and over a hundred 360-degree panoramic views. The use of multimedia in the encyclopedia is creative enough to hold children's interest and to enhance learning.

We hope that future updates to the program will include help for children who misspell words in their search, like the help found in Encarta.

We performed several tests by searching for information that real kids needed for school projects and presentations. One test involved a child tester's project on Polish people and traditions. We found very readable, relevant information on the topic, as well as nice media, including pictures and even songs
