New Online Training Opportunities - Lynda.com
As part of a four-month pilot project, all IU students, faculty, and staff statewide get fee-free access to the entire lynda.com elearning library from August 20 through December 20, 2009.
Lynda.com has an Online Training Library® of over 650 courses and related exercise files created by subject matter experts. Log on and start using these materials now through the UITS IT Training site:

Lynda’s training is convenient and self-directed – you can access the workshops you want, when and where you want. A middle of the night refresher on a particular Photoshop tool is probably not possible through traditional training venues. But, it’s readily available through lynda.com.
The training unfolds according to your needs and preferences. You can learn by:
• Subject: From 3D to XML, lynda.com covers the latest developments in areas such multimedia, web design, programming, and more.
• Software: Lynda’s training library provides comprehensive coverage of popular suites such as Adobe CS4 and Microsoft Office, as well as of more specialized applications such as AutoCAD and WordPress.
• Vendor: You can choose from 29 IT companies, then view the full range of training options for their products.
• Author: If you like a particular trainer’s teaching style, you can look to see what else they have to offer.
IU students, in particular, will enjoy the ability log in anytime and work through Adobe CS4 courses and exercise files.
IU faculty will be able to incorporate fee-free video training into course curriculum – or assign outside training, so there’s no need to spend limited class time on a given tool.
And, for IU staff, it’s a no-cost opportunity to brush up on the latest software features, maintaining current and relevant skill sets.
