Notes are delivered in Microsoft Office Word format optimized for use with Logos. Once the notes for each course have been completed by the student, they can be imported into Logos. This means that as they use Logos in the future for Bible study, their Bible Institute notes including the content provided to them and the notes which they type in themselves are a fully searchable resource that is electronically linked with their textbooks and other resources within their Logos package.

Once a student has their wordoflife.edu email account, they can log in to Canvas and receive their course content and schedules. They can also use the Canvas app on their mobile device to lookup schedules and receive notifications.

The IT team will assist students with installing the software Word of Life provides. This service is provide free of charge. Beyond this, any kind of service or repair is subject to standard fees which are published in the IT Service Center on Campus.

Logos and Microsoft offers free apps for the iPad, iPhone, Android, and Kindle Fire. They have limited functionality and cannot do everything that the Logos software can do on a Windows or Mac computer. Most importantly, you cannot integrate your class notes the way you can on the computer.

To take notes with a mobile device, you would need to use an app that allows you to type your notes in a Word (.docx) document. We do not recommend students use mobile devices instead of a laptop computer. In instances where a tablet computer is used, a physical keyboard will be needed.

Maybe. The Logos Bible Software requires the Windows operating system. Windows RT is not supported. The Atom processor will run the Logos Bible Software, but your performance maybe slow. A keyboard is recommended to facilitate quick note-taking. We STRONGLY recommend that you use a real laptop.

Unlikely. They usually do not have enough storage space or power to run the academic software. The Logos Bible Software requires the Windows operating system.

As long as you have an SSD large enough for your library and everything else you'd need you'll be fine. Hard drive speed is the most critical factor for running Logos. There are other considerations if you are running lots of linked reports but for shear library size it's all about using an SSD.

I used this in my own evaluation and decided to double the RAM to 32GB, pick a slightly more robust i9 processor and get more storage space since I have a lots of files besides a big Logos library. I do lots of other things on the computer, so my needs are more demanding. Logos loads very fast on this machine. The newer gen processors from Intel and AMD are even better. YMMV but you do not need a huge horsepower custom high end desktop, mine is a Dell XPS 15 laptop.

The most I've ever seen this laptop bogged down was in rendering a 1-hour HD video I recorded, & even then I wouldn't have noticed anything going on in the background---just took much longer than usual (about 20 minutes) than I'm used to waiting to complete.

I didn't choose to invest in the fastest CPU, since (after 25 yr in IT before becoming a full time pastor) I didn't believe that to be a bottleneck for anything I'd be doing. (So far, I haven't regretted that.)

For every component, I commend buying at the knee of the price performance curve. For every component, you can pay a small incremental price for a performance upgrade, till you get to some point--when the price starts increasing steeply. That's the knee...

I reading the Logos 9 wish list post and noticed all the post about how slow the program loads...
I....
The main boss computer is a 27" 3.8 Ghz quad i5 iMac with 8gb of ram and a 2Tb ssd, my lap top is 2 Ghz i7 with 16Gb of ram and a 500gb SSD windows machine. The laptop sometimes slows down if it has to index new collections of books. Nothing slows the iMac down for very long. I asked the question, because I too got that minimum system requirements information a few years ago... and every computer I've bought since then... I made sure it had as much horsey power and memory as I could get... without going into gaming machine money.
The iMac I got because my wife uses Adobe Creative Suite, which can be enough to choke any computer. I've talked to a database engineer and he said the underlying database wasn't written to be as fast as it could be... but... if... your spending the kind of money , that really large resource collections require and your going to use it really hard... is it really unreasonable to expect to have to get a pretty muscular computer.
I mean even my little collection of 3400 books... cost 4 times... what the iMac cost.

For what it's worth, I prefer to use a custom-built desktop system (even tho I own a Lenovo Yoga laptop). My preference for the custom desktop is because off-the-shelf units from system builders tend to be de-tuned to keep the heat and speeds lower for the sake of higher reliability (consequently, fewer service calls - i.e., lower cost to the manufacturer). I believe this de-tuning is particularly true with laptops. For example, the Lenovo has a locked down bios - you can adjust basic, inconsequential things like date, time, ports, etc. but you are not able to get to any speed/overclocking settings for the cpu or the memory or the buses.

If, however, you assemble your own desktop system using carefully chosen components from various component manufacturers, you'll find a completely open bios where you'll have a great deal of flexibility in setting it up. For example, the past few years I have preferred motherboards from ASRock since, not only is the bios completely accessible, but they have several pre-designed and tested overclocking modes available - just click on the speed/performance you desire and you're all set to go. Clarification: I am not some crazy, overclocking nut living in my parents' basement using liquid Nitrogen as a coolant ... I just want as much performance as I can reasonably get without unnecessarily driving up the cost of the system or jeopardizing the reliability.

I should also point out that, if you have a good idea of what components you want, and are a careful shopper, it's not difficult to build a very fast, high performance system at a price that is significantly less than a similarly equipped box from a system builder. Plus, once you get past the initial cost of such things as the case, power supply, memory, etc. you can periodically upgrade individual components in order to freshen the performance of your system (I'm thinking here particularly of the motherboard/cpu) - and it can be done for far less $$ than replacing the entire system - thus, you can potentially keep the same basic system going strong for years.

And, as a side note, if you are not a techno-geek, and building your own system sounds a bit daunting, well, there's always a 14 year old lurking around somewhere who could do it for you ... \_(ツ)_/

Would a laptop with 10th Gen i7-10510U, 16gb Ram, 512gb ssd, NVIDIA GeForce MX250 with 2GB GDDR5 graphics memory...be a good computer for Logos? I'm upgrading from no graphics card, 8gb ram, older i5 processor.

Thanks JRS. I just watched all three videos in this serious on how to build your own computer and it doesn't seem as easy as you make it out. I am looking to get a custom built desktop, but I think I'll have the folks like OriginPC build it for me.

I have been having numerous glitchy problems with Proclaim. From little things like a 2 second delay for text transitions and slow response times during editing to Show stoppers like random crashes during a presentation and just not opening at all. I am starting to wonder if problem is the systems I am running Proclaim on.

I went to check the requirements and the link takes me to the requirements for the Logos software. It is not clear that these requirements are for Logos AND proclaim or just Logos. Are the 2 built on the same engine? Are there recommended requirements to make use of all of Proclaim capabilities?

Thanks for the input! I got a chance to run Proclaim on a new iMac with 8GB of RAM and the newer nVidia card with 512MB of videoRAM and it was much smoother. I still had a few small twitches in some backgrounds during text transition but that may be more of a background issue. One of the computers I am using now, however, has an older nVidia card with 512MB of video RAM and 4GB of System Memory so the problem is definitely more than the video memory. I'd love to see a benchmark system for Proclaim that Logos is using all the features (motion background, multimedia content, and the both the monitor and slides outputs. With that. I'd know to expect slower response with anything less.

All three software programs have strong original language capabilities. I don't think it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that there is probably a 90-95% overlap here. In other words, all three can do most of the same things in one form or another. All three, for example, make use of morphologically tagged Hebrew and Greek databases to enable a wide variety of simple and complex searches. The main difference is in the interface each uses for the searches.

It seems that the main fundamental difference between the three companies is in terms of their primary focus. BibleWorks focuses almost exclusively on the original languages of Scripture. Logos focuses on providing an extensive (and ever-growing) digital library to its users. Accordance appears to be focused on trying to achieve the best of both worlds - and to do this for Mac users.
