Lynda.com

Wed, Oct 12, 2011 -- Lynda.com - a new campus-wide service I am very pleased to let you know that the university has taken out a one-year campus licence to lynda.com.  This will provide unlimited access to the lynda.com Online Training Library ® for all UAL staff and students both on and off-site.   Lynda.com provides 24-hour access to video courses focused on software topics and business skills training.  This resource includes:   Access to over 1,000 courses, with 4-6 new courses added every week An option to view courses in their entirety or as individual videos to support knowledge development and just-in-time learning Printable course certificates to confirm completion of courses you have viewed and studied When you visit the lynda.com site for the first time you will need to register to create a personal profile.  This will mean that you can track your learning and see a record of the videos you have used.  A guide to registering and setting up your profile so that you can use Lynda.com is available on the library section of your Blackboard course site.   This service is now available for you to use from anywhere on or off-campus.  Once you have used the registration instructions to set up your personal profile, you can log in to use Lynda.com at http://lynda.arts.ac.uk   A ‘How to use lynda.com’ training video is available on the site as well as the options to select videos by software, company and author.  A sample of the types of courses available can be found on youtube.com.
