Both the CD and website work fully when used independently. But we recommend that you use the CD in a computer that is connected to the Internet. By doing that, you'll be alerted of any new or updated files automatically.
The website will always have the latest information. But make sure to use the CD if you want to view bigger, better videos, or for quicker access to any of the resources (pulling them off the CD means you won't have to wait for any long Internet download times).
