Encyclopaedia Britannica Homework Helper

The internet is a wonderful resource to help your child with their homework, but we don't need to tell you that it can be a dangerous place too. Besides, wouldn't it be so much easier if the information was reliable, well presented and all in one place?

Encyclopaedia Britannica's Homework Helper is all that. It includes two full encyclopaedias designed specifically with younger readers in mind, and a number of other resources that will provide children aged seven to 14 with a complete reference library to help with their homework.

The encyclopaedias incorporate more than 5,000 pictures, video and audio clips to add life to the entries, while timelines help place historical events in perspective. Handily, all these features are presented with the student in mind - you can take digital notes, place bookmarks on relevant entries - and the dictionary and thesaurus will help when it comes to presenting the information you have put together.

Accessing the information is easy. There are a series of buttons along the top of the screen leading to each section and a versatile search window down the left that can be retracted to give more space on the main window.

In case the information in the program isn't comprehensive enough, there are thousands of links to respected websites that can provide more detail on a specific topic. But for the purposes of ordinary homework research, Homework Helper provides more than enough help itself, and you have peace of mind knowing that the information comes from a respected and reliable source.
