How CD Works

Studying on a CD is Even Better than Online

Studying on a computer has a lot of advantages, including:

Transportability -You avoid carrying heavy books everywhere. You can boot up a computer and start studying whenever and wherever it suits you. You can even view a course on a hand held device that can be carried in your pocket (eg. i phone)
Searchability - Information in a course can be found by searching electronically instead of having to wade through paper.
Cost -Colleges can provide information, photographs etc, easier and cheaper than in printed notes and books
Interactivity -students can be given programming that allows interactivity, such as asking questions, allowing them to answer, then reporting the results (correct or incorrect)

These advantages can be found in any type of electronic learning (ie. e-learning).

Studying online is one popular form of e learning; but online education can have some disadvantages:

Connectivity -You need to be able to connect to the internet when you want to study; and the reliability of the internet connection can sometimes be a problem
Cost - Online training systems are often expensive for a college to establish and maintain. These costs may be passed on to the student, and though perhaps cheaper than using books and notes; online training can be more expensive than a CD

The CD Option

This can offer all of the advantages of online training; and none of the disadvantages
