Commonwealth of Learning (COL) produces a CD-ROM that contains COL's most popular resource publications, news, and software. It now contains over 80 publications including training manuals, start-up guides, course materials and research, including all 25 titles in COL's popular Knowledge Series, as well as free and open source software. While most of the contents are also available in print or on our web site, the CD-ROM provides a convenient, fast-loading compilation of the open and distance learning resources that COL has produced for public distribution and use.
