All written assignments submitted electronically are to be submitted in Microsoft Word compatible format. If you cannot afford or wish to use Microsoft Office (contains Microsoft Word), you may use OpenOffice.org, a free open-source office software suite (including a word processor: OpenOffice.org Writer) that can save files in Microsoft Word format.

If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft Word, there are excellent tutorials on the web to help you learn how to use Microsoft Word. There are many tutorials on the web for OpenOffice.org as well.

You will also need Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader for viewing Study Guides, and the Adobe Flash plug-in / add-on for listening to audio lectures using the Trinity Online Learning Center’s built-in MP3 player. Audio lectures, which are in MP3 format, can be downloaded to your computer and listened to using any MP3 player software you wish (such as Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, etc.), or downloaded to an MP3 player. Please note that all academic audio lectures are the property of Trinity College of the Bible and Trinity Theological Seminary and are not authorized for duplication or distribution without prior written consent.
