Sphere2 now allows you to configure your software to recognize students' devices that are equipped with the ClassSend app. Teachers can not only create, record and share their custom lessons, but they can now interactively send their content to their students' devices, ensuring their direct participation in the classroom session! Through the ClassSend app, students are empowered to modify, annotate and transmit their work back to the teacher!
Simple, flexible and adaptive
Sphere2 is a complete presentation, content development and sharing software solution; however its simplicity is just as extraordinary as what it does. With easy to navigate tools to present live video, control your document camera(s), annotate, manipulate, record and share. Your students will be actively immersed in your curriculum.
Sphere2 annotation tools: comprehensive, yet intuitive!
One Camera? Two Cameras? Three?
Sphere2 allows you to present content from multiple sources, organized in up to 6 screens at one time. It also allows you to display live video from your document camera, wireless camera, and even your web cam simultaneously!
A chemical reaction can be demonstrated under the document camera, as the teacher is presented live through the webcam. A wireless camera can be at a student station as the group conducts the experiment at the same time, all being viewed by the class. Additional content such as the Periodic Table or results can be displayed in other screens, as well.
Then using the new Class feature, send a freeze-frame of the experiment to each of your students' 1 to 1 devices, asking them to annotate (using their device's ClassSend app) where the key elements can be found on the Periodic Table.

Move, resize, annotate and record it all
Whether presenting content in one full screen, or as many as 6, you can rearrange the windows, resize them, mark and annotate over all, then record the entire lesson from start to finish. All screens, including all annotation and audio can be recorded as one complete video.
Shine a spotlight
One of the unique features that Sphere2 offers is the Spotlight feature. The Spotlight feature focuses attention on a key area in your slide. When used, the feature turns the entire slide area completely opaque while exposing a region of the screen. You can control the size, shape and position of the exposed area, which is perfect sectioning off problems on a worksheet.
Reveal something
The Visor feature allows you to cover any area of the screen with an opaque rectangular shield. The shield can be moved either vertically or horizontally to reveal and hide areas as necessary. You can even adjust the transparency – perfect for reviewing exam questions and answers.
Share lessons instantly to the cloud
Captures what you see (and do)
Whether you are moving an object under an AVer doc cam, narrating over a website, annotating over your lesson or playing a video, Sphere2 captures all your actions with crystal-clear video and audio.
Shares video instantly
With your complete lesson recorded, you can instantly upload and share it to DropBox, YouTube, Facebook, or even your classroom management site. Lessons can be pre-recorded for substitute teachers, and flipped for students to view at home. Student presentations and projects can also be recorded and shared anytime, anywhere.
Sphere2, with the new Class Student Engagement feature, provides the tools for you to have immersive and stimulating direct engagements with your students. Now, using your 1 to 1 classroom technology, you can send lesson content directly to your students mobile devices - and receive their updated content!

Combining the elements with Sphere2
Sphere2 gives you the ability to present, interact, display and record all elements of your lessons. Whether live, saved or recorded content, all pieces of your lesson melt into a fluid, comprehensive and engaging lesson. Instant upload makes your lessons available anytime, anywhere, and for anyone you choose to share it with.
How does Sphere2 enhance a lesson? Let's imagine a science lesson being conducted.
Students in class
It's all about being dynamic. Simultaneously show what's in the Petri dish, a live image of you, along with .jpg images or videos of the control or initial stages of the experiment. So no matter where you are in the classroom (even if you are over the sink), students get a front row seat to what's going on.
Sick or students out of class
No more 'I wasn't there' excuses. You can record your entire science lesson with annotations and highlights, as well as upload to YouTube, DropBox and more effortlessly. Then, with one easy forward of a link, everyone is up to speed – in and out of class. With Sphere2, watching the recorded lesson is just like the live experience.
Flip your classroom
Currently the biggest buzz in education is 'flipping your classroom.' What is the flipped classroom? According to an article in the New York Times, 'It's an 'inverted' teaching structure in which instructional content is delivered outside class, and engagement with the content – skill development and practice, projects and the like – is done in class, under teacher guidance and in collaboration with peers.' Basically With the ability to record and share dynamic eLearning content, Sphere2 makes it effortless and engaging for you to flip your classroom.

Download LogiCola
LogiCola is a program to help students learn logic. It was last modified on 11 September 2019. If you ever have problems updating the program within LogiCola, just come back to this page to re-install it.
For Macintosh users, is LogiCola compatible with the new Catalina operating system (MacOS 10.15)? Click here to find out.Click here to install LogiCola on Macintosh (or, better yet, first print out the directions);
or click here to install LogiCola on Linux.
To install LogiCola in Windows:
CLICK HERE
CLICK HERE
After you click, you'll be asked: Do you want to RUN or SAVE this file? Click RUN; and keep insisting, if asked, that yes you do want to run this file. You may have to click your way around warnings; for example, if you see 'Windows Defender prevented this unrecognized app from starting,' then click 'more info' and then 'run anyway.' Soon this dialog box will appear:
After you install LogiCola, click the cola-can icon to start the program: 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 Start menu/page program list. |
BOOK: LogiCola goes with Gensler's Introduction to Logic (Routledge 2017, 2010, 2002). Click here or here to order. Click here for information about the third ediion.
HANDOUT: Here's a handout about downloading LogiCola that teachers can give to their students; you can print this on one sheet of paper (using both sides) and it covers installing LogiCola on both Windows and Macintosh computers (and so it replaces the separate Windows and Macintosh handouts).
TOUCHSCREENS AND TABLETS: You can do LogiCola using only touch, or using mouse-and-keyboard. LogiCola works nicely on Window tablets.
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.
FURTHER UPDATES: If LogiCola is updated, you can repeat the setup process to update your program. But it's easier for you to update using TOOLS | UPDATE LOGICOLA on LogiCola's menu bar. Updating either way preserves your scores.
NON-WEB INSTALL: You can install LogiCola directly to a flash drive from any computer that has LogiCola installed; use TOOLS | COPY SCORES OR PROGRAM TO FLASH DRIVE on LogiCola's menu bar. Or you can just copy the LogiCola.exe program file to another computer (for example, to the desktop).
WINDOWS VERSIONS: The current Windows LogiCola should work with Windows XP-Vista-7-8-or-10, 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.
MACINTOSH & LINUX: You can also run LogiCola in Macintosh or Linux.iPads: You can run LogiCola on an iPad (or even an iPhone or iPod Touch) using a 'remote server.' Open the app store, get the free PocketCloud app, and follow the directions to set up PocketCloud on a Windows computer (on which you install LogiCola). Then you can run LogiCola on your iPad through this remote computer; however it's very slugglish and each remote computer can service only one iPad at a time. But could this basic idea over time evolve into something more usable?
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).
YOUNGER SISTER: LogiCola has a younger sister, EthiCola, about moral philosophy.CHROMEBOOKS and ANDROID DEVICES: I've had reports that LogiCola (and most other Windows programs) run on Chromebooks and Android devices that use an Intel processor if you install the beta version of Codeweaver's CrossOver on Chrome app. I haven't tried this myself.
HELP FILES:for LogiCola and for LogiSkor (LogiCola's score processor); LogiCola News.
SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS:teacher manual for newer editions of the book, teacher manual for first edition, Logic Pretest (printable), Logic Pretest (Web-interactive), Flashcards, Sample Quizzes, Why the star test works, Logic symbols that you can paste into other documents, 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.

- syllogisms;
- informal aspects of reasoning (like meaning and fallacies);
- inductive reasoning;
- propositional and quantificational logic;
- modal, deontic, and belief logic;
- the formalization of an ethical view about the golden rule; and
- metalogic, history of logic, deviant logic, and philosophy of logic.
Earlier Routledge editions appeared in 2002 and 2011. Features included (a) clear, concise writing; (b) engaging arguments from philosophy and everyday life; (c) simpler ways to test arguments, including an innovative proof method and the syllogism star-test; (d) the widest range of materials of any logic text; (e) high suitability for self-study and preparation for tests like the LSAT; (f) a reasonable price (a third that of some competitors); and (g) the free companion LogiCola instructional program (which randomly generates problems, gives feedback on answers, provides help and explanations, and records progress). I'm happy with how earlier editions were received, often with lavish praise.
I improved this third edition in many ways. I went through the book, making explanations clearer and more concise. I especially worked on areas that students find difficult, such as (to give a few examples) why 'all A is B' and 'some A is not B' are contradictories (§2.4), deriving syllogistic conclusions (§2.5), the transition from inference rules to formal proofs (§§6.10-13 & 7.1), how to evaluate formulas in quantificational logic (§§8.3 & 8.5), how to translate 'exactly one' and 'exactly two' in identity logic (§9.1), multiple-quantifier translations and endless-loop refutations in relational logic (§§9.4-9.5), when to drop a necessary formula into the actual world in modal logic (§10.2), and how inference rules work in belief logic (§13.2). I expanded sections on traditional Copi proofs (§§7.5, 8.6, and 9.7, urged on by reviewers) and truth trees (§7.6, urged on by my friend Séamus Murphy), for teachers who might also want to teach these methods or have students learn them on their own for additional credit (as I do). 'For Further Reading' now mentions further sections of the book that an advanced student might want to pursue while doing specific chapters; for example, the Basic Propositional Logic chapter goes well with sections on metalogic, deviant logic, and philosophy of logic. I didn't substantially change exercise sections. Despite additions, the book is now six pages shorter.
The book now has a very nice Kindle e-book version, with real page numbers, based on a second version of the manuscript that I made with simplified formatting. And yes, you can add your own highlighting and notes.
I improved the companion LogiCola software, which runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Cloud Sync allows syncing scores between various computers. Proofs have a Training Wheels option; this gives hints about what to derive (it might bold lines 4 and 7 and ask '4 is an IF-THEN; do you have the first part true or the second part false?') - hints disappear as your score builds up. Touch features let LogiCola be done using only touch, only mouse and keyboard, or any combination of these; touch works nicely on Windows tablets or touch-screen monitors. Quantificational translations have a Hints option; this gives Loglish hints about how to translate English sentences (for 'All Italians are lovers' it might say 'For all x, if x is Italian then x is a lover') - hints disappear as your score builds up. There are exercises for Copi proofs and truth trees; to process scores from these, your LogiSkor program needs a version date of at least January 2016. And the Macintosh setup is easier. LogiCola (with a score-processing program, teachers manual, class slides, flash cards, and sample quizzes) can be downloaded for free from http://www.harryhiker.com/lc or http://www.harrycola.com/lc. All supplementary materials are conveniently accessible from LogiCola's HELP menu; so I suggest that you just install LogiCola (teachers should check the option to install the score processor too).
I wish to thank all who have somehow contributed to this third edition. I thank Andy Beck at Routledge and his staff and reviewers, who made good suggestions. I thank my logic students, especially those whose puzzled looks pushed me to make things clearer. And I thank the many teachers, students, and self-learners who e mailed me, often saying things like 'I love the book and software, but there's one thing I have trouble with ....' If this third edition is a genuine improvement, then there are many people to thank besides me.
Long live logic!

'Equal parts eloquent and instructive, Gensler has once again provided an invaluable resource for those looking to master the fundamental principles of logic. The Third Edition improves upon an already exceptional text by infusing the introduction of new concepts with enhanced clarity, rendering even the most challenging material a joy to teach. The updated LogicCola program is sure to become an indispensable component of my own introductory course.'
Christopher Haley, Waynesburg University, USA
'This Third Edition improves on a book that was already superb. I have used Gensler's book to teach introductory courses in logic to undergraduate philosophers and linguists, and the response from the students has always been positive. They appreciate its clear explanation and the wealth of examples and practice opportunities it provides. In particular, the translation exercises help to refine logico-semantic intuitions. The supporting LogiCola software, which is feely downloadable, is a great support tool.'
Mark Jary, University of Roehampton, UK
'The Third Edition is an improved version of an already excellent introduction to logic. Gensler's Reductio proof procedure enables a seamless transition from elementary propositional logic to quantification theory and more advanced modal logics. Many of the exercises involve formulations of philosophical problems. The explanations of advanced topics have been greatly improved. The upgraded LogiCola program now supports alternative proof procedures. This book is a winner!'
