Each CPS set comes with the following materials: 1 installation CD (At my school, installation is usually done by the technology specialist and should not be attempted by anyone else) * To install, this CD should be inserted into the computer and an Install window will appear. Install Wizard prompts should be followed to set up the CPS program.
