Encyclopaedias are a treasure trove for any student as they are full of information on almost everything, but often one has to spend considerable time in searching for a particular topic. Of course, this is what student life is all about. So, here we are with an encyclopaedia that is one of its kind — www.check123.com — a place with over 20,000 videos from around the world, on countless topics!

Check 123 is a video encyclopaedia site and each video is approximately from one to three minutes in length. All the videos are curated and validated by professional experts in different fields and prioritised by quality experts to ensure accuracy of the information.

The homepage is quite appealing; scroll down and see various interesting videos listed under their categories; but you can go choose from the main menu which is at the top centre with so many categories like Arts, Cinema, Earth, Nature, Science, Tech, History, Space, Human body, and much more in the drop-down list.

One of the good things about this site is that it provides the quality rating of a video. For instance, if you play any video, you can see its quality rating (1-10) next to it, alongside two metrics telling you if the video is informative or entertaining. The duration of the video is also given at the top.

While next to each video, you can see the site’s hand-picked recommendations — allowing you to further explore the chosen subject (‘Essentials’ playlist under the video) or discover related topics (in the ‘Tags’ sidebar on the right).

Its free signup allows you to save videos and request videos to be added to the site. So, if you have some time on your hand, and a topic to search, and expand your knowledge in a quick and easy way, go for it, and learn something new in 1, 2 and 3 minutes!
