WOODBURY, N.Y. (December 19, 2009) – Learn360, an
interactive media-on-demand service for educators, announces an exclusive
partnership with Encyclopaedia Britannica.
This partnership will bring over 25,000 educational research articles to
Learn360 customers via Britannica Concise Encyclopaedia, a trusted database for

online digital streaming service of Britannica Concise Encyclopaedia to the
educational market. Both teachers and

variety of quality content so that they can quickly and easily develop
