Other Online Educational Resources:
These online resources are either curriculum, classes, or other tools specifically for learning.
- ClassicalFree Online Academy
offers many classes in classical studies with a very nice try
before you buy option that lets you look at a course before you decided
to enroll. I contract to teach a number of classes for
ClassicalFree.
Must have software resources:
All of these are free software applications that are directly useful
for taking this class.
Open
Office is an "open source" office software suite which will
give MS Office a run for its money, not least of all, because it is
free. I require students to use either MS Word or OO Writer for handing in their assigments.- GIMP for Windows
is a free "open source" image manipulation program. The names stands
for "GNU Image Manipulation Program." It works much like
Photoshop.
- Audacity
is free "open source" audio recorder and editor software, which can
export easily to mp3 and other audio formats. Please read the
instructions for adding the mp3 export function (an additional file
must be downloaded and placed in a certain folder and then you have to
identify the path to the file when you first attempt to export to mp3).
- Foxit PDF Reader is a free PDF reader like Adobe's reader, but lighter and faster.
- Firefox
this internet browser comes with the java listed below, and is reputed
to be more secure. I also recommend it for running our conferencing sofware (Web4M).
- Java this java
software is necessary for our conferencing application.
- Online Bible is
a freeware searchable Bible program with lots of readily available
add-ons. (SPECIAL NOTE, the complete History of the Christian Church by Philip Schaff is available as an add-on!!)
Web Site Resources for general
use:
There are more web site resources listed with each
of the classes, but here are a few that have broader application.
