August 1, 2008 Looking at Learning 2.1 is now available to registered users as a free download via the ftp instructions first given to users. Version 2.1 include many upgrades including the ability to import and aggregate observations from multiple computers. A new section allowing User Defined codes is now active. The Excel graphs have been updated and are available separately or as part of the version download. It is suggested that users download and "zip" versions of the file and expand them on their own computers in order to save download time. Users should know that version 2.1 uses a slightly different file structure than all previous versions and completed observations from earlier versions can not be imported. However, teacher lists from previous versions can be imported.
