Computing Setup

    Description: We will be using LucidChart as the diagrammer for this course. In this activity, we access LucidChart using our browser. We can begin using LucidChart immediately using the version that is free to everyone. Nevertheless, you should apply immediately for a LucidChart free education license. This is free to university students and it will allow you to create more diagrams than the version that is free to everyone.
    • Lucidchart . Lucidchart makes a limited version of its diagrammer free-to-everyone. You can sign up for a free account here.
    • Lucidchart free educational license . Lucidchart can provide a free educational license to students who apply. This page has a link for signing up for a free student license. In the past, there have been some delays in getting these free student licenses approved. If this happens to you, use the free-to-everyone license described above while you wait for approval of your free student license.
