Most courseware modules use 256 colours. All modules have been developed using Macromedia's Authorware Professional.
The courseware is available in stand-alone application style format and in web format. The stand-alone version requires no additional software and can either be run directly from the CD-ROM or installed on individual computer hard disks or file servers. Courseware is supplied on CD-ROM.
The web format is intended for use over an intranet and requires a browser with an Authorware web player plug-in (available free from the Macromedia's web site). At the present time the plug-in is only available for Windows and Macintosh operating systems. It is for this reason that the UKESCC courseware is currently not able to run under other computer operating systems, e.g. UNIX, Linux.
