Abstract
Today, logic is taught to a much broader academic audience than just the traditional target group of mathematicians and philosophers. Logic in Action provides modern open courseware, in the form of a freely accessible animated e-book, as an extensive teaching tool for this growing student population. The project stresses the methodological merits of logic for a wide range of interdisciplinary sciences.
Logic in Action is a project financed by the Dutch Ministry of Science and Education (the so-called Beta Platform program) and is organized by the Center for Creation, Content and Technology ( http://ccct.uva.nl/content/project/beta ). Many other persons are involved in the project than only the two authors of this paper. The project has been initiated by Johan van Benthem (University of Amsterdam), Jan van Eijck (Center for Mathematics and Computer Sciene Amsterdam) and Hans van Ditmarsch (University of Seville).
