What application will I use to read my
digital
magazine?
All you need is Acrobat Reader, which you may already have on your
computer. You can download
the latest edition of Acrobat Reader for free. Some
e-readers seem to be able to read password-protected PDFs; check to see
if there are apps to convert them to the format required by your reader.
We are currently working on a new interface that will password-protect
the site rather than individual files, which will give subscribers more
flexibility in terms of reading their magazines on portable devices.
How do I get my digital magazines?
When you
subscribe to Life Learning, you will be
sent a personal email from our Publisher. It will contain a password,
which you will use each time you wish to access the current or any back
issues. The email will also contain links that you can use to directly
access the PDF files.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to
read my magazines?
No, you only need to be connected while you download and save a
magazine. After that you can take your computer or
other device anywhere and read your
magazines offline. Of course, certain features such as hyperlinks in
articles and advertisements require an Internet connection.
How will I know when the new
issues are published?
The email that you receive when you subscribe to Life Learning will
contain a link to a sign-up form for our free Life Media email
newsletter (see also the register form to the left of this question).
Signing up for this informative newsletter will keep you updated about
new additions to this website, and will include announcements at the
appropriate times regarding the availability of new issues of Life
Learning. If you prefer not to receive this newsletter, you can always
consult the Subscriber Services page for a link to the latest issue,
or use the buttons on this page to sign on to our Twitter or Facebook
services.
Are back issues available? Is there a charge to
access them?
Exclusive password-protected access to our online
archive of back
issues is part of your paid subscription package.
Where are the issues between
May/June 2008 and January/February 2010?
Life Learning Magazine was combined with Natural Life Magazine (which we
also publish) from July/August 2008 to November/December 2009. You can
access those back issues via a subscription to Natural Life Magazine's
online edition. Launched in 1976, Natural Life has always published, and will
continue to publish, articles about unschooling, self-directed and
holistic/democratic education.
Is Life Learning Magazine
available as a print magazine?
Life Learning Magazine was a print magazine from 2002 to 2008. It is now
a digital magazine and, since the publishing industry is increasingly
becoming digital, we do not plan to publish a print edition in the
future. The cost of publishing a paper edition of a niche magazine like
Life Learning has simply become prohibitive.
Can I share my digital
magazine with friends?
The subscription you have purchased is for your own personal use. We
prefer that you encourage your friends to subscribe for their own use,
and are therefore keeping the subscription cost relatively inexpensive.
Life Learning is published by a very small, independent publishing
company, and - by its nature - attracts very little advertising. So our
costs must be covered by readers.
Why do you need my email address?
We use your valid email address to send you renewal
notices. You can view our privacy policy
here.
Who can I contact with additional
subscription-related questions?
Send us an
email if you have any questions about online subscriptions that
aren't answered on this page.
