Psa 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Useful Resources from the Web

This course and its modules are offered to you using advanced e-learning technologies. These have now become available to us through the advancements made in multi-media, software and the general availability of The Internet.
We have made a study of what may be helpful to you in your learning process, and we then selected Web pages, self-assessment tests and free software to be accessible to you. Since you may not have fast Internet access yet, we have down-loaded more than you need onto a CD.

A Definition

Download: to copy or move programs or information into a computer's memory, especially from the Internet or a larger computer

In this case this "memory" is the space available on a CD-ROM. CDs are everywhere these days. Depending on the format, a huge amount of information such as music, data or computer software can be put on a CD. (We at CLT usually work with text files, free software programmes and, occasionally, short video clips.) The CD has become the standard medium for distributing large quantities of information in a reliable package.

How you can Get to It

The resources have been placed in folders on the CD. The software is under the folder labelled as "Software". Under this will be several sub-folders each labeled according its contents or the kind of software contained in it. Al the software is freeware. This means you do not need to pay for it. Programmes are without advertizing nags.
The Module you are working on may have suitable Web pages related to it. To find these, turn to the following programme:
Windows Explorer

This is the programme you will use if you operate your computer on Windows. It opens a window that displays all the items present on your computer such as the different hard drives and the CD drive on which you will find this CD. Click on the CD drive and then "Explore" until you get to the resources folder of the module.
The Technical Side

A CD can store up to 74 minutes of music, so the total amount of digital data that must be stored on a CD is: 783,216,000 bytes. To fit as many as 783 megabytes (MB) onto a disc only 12 cm in diameter requires that the individual bytes be very small. By examining the physical construction of a CD, you can begin to understand just how small these bytes are.
A CD is a fairly simple piece of plastic, about 1.2 mm thick. Most of a CD consists of an injection-moulded piece of clear polycarbonate plastic. During manufacturing, this plastic is impressed with microscopic bumps arranged as a single, continuous, extremely long spiral track of data. Once the clear piece of polycarbonate is formed, a thin, reflective aluminum layer is sputtered onto the disc, covering the bumps. Then a thin acrylic layer is sprayed over the aluminum to protect it. The label is then printed onto the acrylic. A cross section of a complete CD (not to scale) looks like this:
