FURTHER INFORMATION


Encyclopedia of BC is no longer part of the ERAC bundle but is still available as a benefit of ERAC membership.

With the exception of LegalEze, which can only be accessed from school computers, these resources are available for use in classrooms and from home for all staff and students.

This offer is available to member districts and associate member independent schools for a low annual subscription price. Collectively, these databases offer a comprehensive set of resources for students in Kindergarten through to post-secondary and professional development for teachers.

This agreement also includes district-based training, provided by ERAC (districts provide the venue and TOCs) to assist schools in fully implementing the resources. ERAC will also help districts that have already taken advantage of this workshop to arrange further training, on a cost-recovery basis.

With the exception of LegalEze, which can only be accessed from school computers, these resources are available for use in classrooms and from home for all staff and students.
