| | VBA: Using Encarta |
 | | Encarta is designed to be used by more computer literate users who have more time available at the computer with Encarta. | | | These are important issues in online courses where students are inexperienced with using computers and have a relatively short time in the computer laboratory in which to complete their task. | | | The Encarta research organiser could be used in longer running courses that use a similar approach to developing essays to that in the organiser. |

| | TechnoFILE Looks at Encarta |
| | The research organizer is a newcomer to the family and uses a "file-card" type of metaphor to store text, graphical or other data. | | | One disadvantage of the multiple disc format is that you have to switch discs periodically to access different parts of Encarta. | | | And, while one can argue about the information content of Encarta as compared with its competition (we look at Compton's elsewhere in TechnoFILE), Microsoft definitely has the slickest and most intuitive interface of the encyclopedias we've tested. |

| | Although Encarta can act as a central starting point for finding information, most of the information found in Encarta can be found on the Internet with standard searches without the use of Encarta. | | | As I stated before, most of the information you would want can be found on the Internet without Encarta, this program makes your research quicker and easier. | | | Because Encarta interacts with the internet, you can get the latest news, weather, and other updated information always keeping Encarta current. |

| | Encarta Africana announces itself as the "comprehensive encyclopedia of black history and culture with authoritative content," but it is far from comprehensive or authoritative, and worse, has numerous inaccuracies and incomplete articles. | | | The issue is far more complex than the choice of words; however, the choice of terms does signal how this project was poorly conceptualized. | | | The Encarta project is woefully lacking in spectrum. |

| | To wire or not to wire? Encyclopaedia Britannica versus Microsoft |
| | One could observe a less obvious difference between Encarta and Britannica, which reflects the different backgrounds of the producing companies (Software versus Publishing): Britannica preserves the tradition of scholarly electronic encyclopaedia that promotes a combination of unified reference and educational software. | | | When editorial selectivity is blended with corporate intent and engaging instruction is intermingled with commercial interests, the mission of encyclopedias might be in jeopardy. In this context, the evaluation criteria for digital encyclopaedic services should be re-defined and their use re-assessed. | | | Arguably Encarta did not have the deep information of Britannica. |
