In addition to heavily discounted copies of the latest versions of Windows and Microsoft Office (including Mac Office) for staff, free copies of Microsoft’s software development tools are now available for both staff and students.
The tools are provided as part of the DreamSpark programme and you can register for an account in the online store to get access to them.
Three other specialist packages are also now available for free download for SHU staff and students. You can download NVIVO, SPSS and ArcGIS from http://shu.student.academia.co.uk/.
There is a problem with http://shu.student.academia.co.uk/ . I am trying to assess SPSS and I have been this link by my supervisor Sheela Macwan but the above link does not work. Please help!!!
I’m sorry but I don’t think that service is available anymore. The blog post is almost 4 years old and what IT are providing changes sometimes. For instance now you go just go to go.shu.ac.uk/office365 to get a free copy of Microsoft Office. I recommend you email ithelp@shu.ac.uk to ask about SPSS.
