R.I.P CD-ROMs for CEIAG?

Is the age of the careers CD-ROM over? The BSF IT contract may put the last nail in the coffin. Each CD-ROM to be loaded onto a school system under such a contract is classed as a 'package'. A Package is a piece of software that is tested, uploaded and tested again before being made available on a school intranet or VLE. A school is allowed 20 'Packages' per year under the local contract I know about. 20 is a ridiculously small number for an average-sized school; anything over this is chargeable outside the agreement. Careers Co-ordinators in BSF schools will need to think hard before purchasing CD-ROM-only resources. Careers-matching programs like Kudos and Pathfinder+HE are already available over the 'net as part of the licence; the best video sites are likewise.. Happily, it is possible to set up a virtual Connexions/careers library with on-line-only resources. I haven't fully investigated the challenges internet-only resources pose for bandwidth demands etc. It's something I need to do with our BSF schools. R.I.P CD-ROMs.
