Practical information

The software package Academic Software, bought by every student, includes the tool Alinea. This powerful text supporting tool can be installed on a windows-pc or used online with the Alinea Web app on Windows or Mac. The tool helps with reading or writing texts.

So there is a version to be installed locally on your Windows computer and also an online Alinea Web App (for Windows and Mac). For both you need a user account and password, which can be requested when clicking on the Alinea tile in Academic Software. Keep in mind installing Alinea on the pc can take a while due to the large size of the software.
