To install LogiCola in Windows:
After you click, you'll be asked: Do you want to RUN or SAVE this file? Click RUN, and then click RUN again when asked to confirm your choice. Soon this dialog box will appear:
If you installed to your flash drive, open it using MY COMPUTER so you can get to the LogiCola icon. |
 LogiCola |
If you installed to your computer, the icon will be on your desktop or on your Start-menu program list. |
CLOUD SYNC: If you want to install LogiCola on multiple computers (not on a flash drive) and keep LogiCola scoring and configuration data in sync on all these computers, install a free Dropbox on each computer's desktop and turn on Cloud Sync using LogiCola's OPTIONS menu.
BOOK: LogiCola goes with Gensler's Introduction to Logic (Routledge, 2010 & 2002). Click here or here to order.
YOUNGER SISTER: LogiCola has a younger sister, EthiCola, about moral philosophy.
FURTHER UPDATES: If I modify LogiCola, you can repeat the setup process to update your program. But it's easier to update within LogiCola, using the TOOLS | UPDATE LOGICOLA option on the menu bar; you can check for updates automatically or manually. Updating preserves your scores.
DOWNLOAD DIFFICULTIES: If you lack a Web connection or have problems installing LogiCola from the Web, you can install LogiCola to a flash drive from any computer that has LogiCola installed (use the TOOLS | COPY SCORES OR PROGRAM TO FLASH DRIVE option on LogiCola's menu bar).
MACINTOSH & LINUX: You can also run LogiCola in Macintosh or Linux.
WINDOWS VERSIONS: This current Windows version should work in Windows XP, Vista, and 7 -- whether 32- or 64-bit. For earlier Windows or DOS, use these zipped forms of the 2003 LogiCola and its score processing program, which use the same score format.
BLACKBOARD: You can set up Blackboard so students can submit scores as WebCT assignments; see Chris Weigand's YouTube video and written instructions.
SHIRTS: Get a LogiCola shirt (many styles available).
HANDOUT: Here's a handout about downloading LogiCola that teachers can give to their students.
Things you can also access from inside LogiCola or LogiSkor: HELP FILES: for LogiCola and for LogiSkor (LogiCola's score processor).
SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: teacher manual for second edition of the book, teacher manual for first edition, Logic Pretest (printable), Logic Pretest (Web-interactive), Flashcards, Sample Quizzes, Why the star test works, and classroom slides for many chapters: Introduction, Syllogistic Logic, Fallacies, Basic Propositional Logic, Propositional Proofs, Basic Quantificational Logic, Relations and Identity, Basic Modal Logic, Further Modal Systems, Deontic and Imperative Logic, Belief Logic, A Formalized Ethical Theory, Metalogic, History of Logic, Deviant Logic.
SYLLABI: for my basic and intermediate logic courses.
