# The ICT text book and hand book, along with the data sets and digital resources required for transaction, will be made available on the TSROER portal. An off-line copy of the same will be provided to each school. The school can access the on-line TSROER version (which will include the latest updates as well) or the off-line version through its school server. The off-line school server version will be periodically (at least once a year) refreshed to bring it in synchronous state with TSROER. This could be done incrementally, to reduce the effort.

=== Online and offline distribution===
The program has three possible ways of being implemented, depending on the availability of internet and the computer up-time.
#On-line: The entire textbook is available on-line on the Internet [[ICT_student_textbook |here]]. You can access the chapters, resources, activities from the text book on-line and practise on your computer. All resources - whether open content or proprietary content - will be accessible. However, you need continuous Internet connectivity for accessing the on-line version of the book. In case internet connectivity is not available, the second option of implementation should be adopted.
#Off-line: The entire textbook is available off-line in your school, on your school server. You can access the chapters, resources, activities and practise on your computer, like in the on-line method, with one limitation. Only open content will be available for you to access off-line in your school. The textbook will show the internet links for the proprietary content, which cannot be accessed off-line. These can be accessed whenever there is internet connectivity. This method requires the computers to be working and electrical power to be available. In cases where the computers are down or electrical power is not available, then certain activities of the text book can still be transacted, as discussed below.
#Non-digital: In case the lab is not operational due to different reasons, such as non-working computers, or no electricity, then the the print edition of the text book can be used. This can be support classroom discussions on a unit or project activities such as collecting data for surveys.All resources used in the textbook are listed in the print version under the references section. Even during this time, the on-line version could be accessed on a phone or tablet if there is data connectivity.

# During practice sessions, some students (who may be more proficient in ICT) may also be roped in to support their peers during the hands-on sessions.

# For each designated activity, each student is required to maintain their digital records / portfolio, in relevant folders. Ideally the resources created / accessed / connected to each activity should be in a separate folder.

# Each student must have her/his login into the school system. (The Ubuntu GNU/Linux system allows multiple user logins to be setup on a computer). Each student will be able to create folders and store their work on the system, which will be secured through their login. The teacher should be able to access these portfolios for assessment. In each term, one of the Formative Assessments will also be transacted through the activities (or variants of the same) identified in the ICT text book
