The Lynda.com Online Training Library - License Checkout
Lynda.com is an online video tutorial library with hundreds of titles on a variety of software and subjects. CLA has five licenses, available for check-out on a two-week basis. Please contact Velanche Stewart for more information. During the checkout period, you can view as many videos and courses as you'd like. You can access the library on any web browser, on-campus or off-campus, with a high-speed Internet connection. Please note that CLA does not provide support for any of the titles, and any technical support issues you may have can be handled by Lynda.com. Information on such support will be included in your Lynda.com welcome email once your account has been activated.
Art & Design faculty and staff can request a Lynda.com license from Rick Salomon, the department's computer tech, as the department has a separate group of licenses for its use.
Finally, a limited number of licenses are available for instant access on-campus. You must be on a campus workstation with a static IP address in order to access Lynda.com while on campus.
