The course disk provided a variety of benefits across delivery formats as well as benefits unique to each delivery format. One course disk was developed and used in teaching a graduate-level introductory statistical methods course in three different settings: distance learning off-campus condensed course, online course, and traditional on-campus course.

Most of the benefits of a course disk are shared with course management systems like Blackboard or Moodle however, a course disk has the distinct advantages that it need not rely on internet access and it provides access to course materials after a course has ended. In most cases, a course disk would be used in addition to traditional methods like course management systems rather than in place of these traditional methods. A typical course disk may include the syllabus and course outline, calendar, instructions, lecture notes and lecture outlines, handouts, assignments, interactive content such as quizzes and surveys, software, statistical tables, example program files, program code, data files, video lectures and tutorials, and pertinent website links. A course disk in either CD or DVD format can be very beneficial to online, hybrid, or distance courses in statistics as well as traditional on-campus courses, augmenting existing technologies like course management systems.
