HOMEWORK CENTRAL
From spring of 1997 to May 2001, Judy Breck guided the
founding and development of HomeworkCentral. She assembled a staff
of Ph.Ds and graduate students who were scholars in the humanities, arts, sciences,
and other academic fields. As knowledge resources cascaded into cybespace, this team identified
and assembled over 150,000 links to Internet study topics and organized them into 35,000
subjects ranging from multiplication to polynomials, and medieval history to grammar,
and biotechnology to space dust. By the spring of 2001, HomeworkCentral.com
was receiving over 4 million hits a month.
During these years, each week Judy identified eight top knowledge websites on the Internet
and wrote reviews which were distributed to over 100,000 students, teachers, and
general learners who signed up for this Top 8 Newsletter.

Excerpt from the cover of How We Will Learn in the 21st Century:
" The internet was largely wasted as an educational tool until Judy Breck created a free resource that is deep, intelligently executed, and tuned to be intensely useful to all ages. She is a true online pioneer who saw the opportunity for the glowing box on students' desks to be 'the great equalizer' that has not been available in any prior education system." —Preston Bealle, former CEO of Homework Central.com

In April 2000 HomeworkCentral.com became a part of bigchalk. com
where it was the core of that company's Internet portal and grew to receive 7 million monthly page views (65% directly attributable to Homework Central) in the fall of 2002.
Judy was Director of Academics at bigchalk.com until May 1, 2001
when her position was eliminated in a bichalk downsizing.
On January 1, 2003, ProQuest bought bigchalk.com.
On June 2, 2003 Proquest, turned the collection into for profit materials.
