Discless vs. CD-Based installations

What's the difference between Discless and CD-Based installations?

The difference between Discless or CD-Based Installations is whether students use CDs.
Both type of Installations can be Networked or Stand-Alone and Local or Internet Records.

DISCLESS

• All course content is copied onto a local hard drive or a file server.
• The number of simultaneous users is regulated by an installation code.
• Advantage: No CDs are required to run the course
• Disadvantage: If this is a networked installation, there is more demand put on the server and network to handle sending the high bandwidth items to clients computers (such as audio, video, and graphics).
  Note: There is a way to do the installation to avoid this.

CD-BASED

• Students have to insert a courseware CD each time they want to study.
• Disadvantage: CDs can get lost, scratched, broken.
