Grolier has included major enhancements over previous versions, including direct links to World Wide Web sites and the inclusion of a fair amount of Canadian content. One of the most interesting features of GME is the Interactivities, which allow one to explore a variety of subjects in-depth through the use of animations. The mouse is used to control the rotation of the animations, while captions complete the study, by providing succinct information. As well as being linked to other articles, the Interactivities allow for the viewing of objects from different perspectives.
