[ATTW-L] [External] Re: [External] Adobe and students question

Sun Feb 4 05:06:24 UTC 2024

I have found that I can achieve many of the same pedagogical goals by
asking my students to use Adobe DC Reader, HelpNdoc, or other free software.
Here I do not have access to the Adobe Suite even for my office computer
but we do have access to it in our classroom labs. Outside the classroom I
try to fine OER and Freeware whenever I can.

Best,
