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.
