When PowerCD is loaded, the Feature Presentation automatically begins to play.  It is a forty-five to ninety minute continuous multimedia program that allows you to explore the subject at your own pace and in the manner you choose.  To pause the Feature Presentation, select the Pause Button located in the lower left corner of the screen.  To continue playing the Feature Presentation, select the Play Button located next to the Pause Button.

In addition to the Feature Presentation, PowerCD contains a Presentation, Text, View, Question, and Quiz mode.  Presentation mode contains other multimedia presentations that provide topical, in-depth studies of the material; these are not automatically played when PowerCD is loaded.  Text mode contains numerous documents that provide information supplemental to what is found in the Feature Presentation and Presentation modes.  View mode is a collection of selected views and corresponding audio captions (found in certain PowerCD titles) and can be played in an automatic sequence.  Questions relating to the subject of the title can be found in Question mode, which help you reinforce what you have learned.  If you would like to review your comprehension and test your knowledge of the subject, timed quizzes may be taken in Quiz mode.
