Lynda by any other name

JCU subscribes to lynda.com, an online, course-based video instruction website for information technology, business, communication, design, education and creative skills. The 3,000+ courses and 130,000+ videos are geared to beginner, intermediate and advanced users.

Lynda:

• tracks what you’ve done
• takes you back to where you left off
• stores playlists of courses you want to do
• allows you move sequentially through a course or just pick the bits you need

Lecturers can also embed Lynda learning content into Learn JCU.

Some of the courses include software like Microsoft Office or Photoshop, programming languages, video editing, project management, presentations and many more.

Lynda has just undergone a name change and is now known as LinkedIn Learning. If you previously had an account with Lynda, you will receive an email confirming the transfer of your previous course enrolments to LinkedIn Learning. if you haven't used Lynda before, now would be a great time to start.

You can access LinkedIn Learning from the library home page. From the top toolbar, click on Learn - LinkedIn Learning. Just log in with your jc number and password, and choose your first free course!
