Preparing PLATO® Interactive Mathematics &
PLATO® Interactive English
Labs Using Imaging Software
Fall 2005
Many of you create images to deploy software to your campus computers. This document provides the best practice techniques you should follow to ensure that your images are created correctly before you deploy them.
Preparing a PLATO Interactive Mathematics & PLATO Interactive English Lab
Images should be created as follows:
1. Update your ISS server to 11.0 using the server updater (http://www2.academic.com/resources/serverupdate.htm). There is no harm in doing this even if students are currently using Interactive English 9.0 or Interactive Mathematics 10.0 in the lab.
2. If PLATO Interactive English is already installed, go to the
next step.
To install PLATO Interactive English, use your PLATO Interactive English Client
Installation CD, or click the “Download IE Client Installer CD” link on the
Online Resources site (http://www2.academic.com/resources/onlineresources.htm)
