There's quite a bit of slideshow and video content on this CD, but on the whole the graphics and overall design are not particularly compelling. After choosing to learn about Latin America, North America, East Asia or Africa, kids can select from the categories Geography, Culture and History or Work and Play. This selection leads to a narrated slideshow with embedded video footage describing each topic. Aside from choosing what to learn, the only interactive part of the CD is the quiz feature in which students' knowledge of each topic is tested. Although the information is interesting, the presentation is comparable to a traditional video.
