Connect @ The Learning Commons

Are you struggling with Microsoft Access? Or maybe you just can’t figure out how to do color correction in CS4?

Well, never fear! Lynda.com is here!

The newest addition to the Learning Commons family is Lynda.com, an online training library of educational videos on a variety of topics and software applications. Among the online courses offered you can browse by subject, product, vendor, or author (maybe you really like the soothing voice of one of the online instructors).

Lynda.com covers some of the following software programs:

• Adobe CS4
• Apple software products such as iPhoto, iTunes, Keynote, iWork, etc.
• Autodesk AutoCAD and Maya
• Intuit Quickbooks
• Microsoft Office 2007
• And so much more! Click here for a full listing.

But wait! She’s so much cooler than you could possibly imagine! The online video tutorials are broken up into pieces, so if you only have time to watch 15 minutes on Adobe After Effects you can always come back and finish. It tracks your progress through the online video tutorials and when you finish your online training you can receive a shiny new certificate of completion.

You can find Lynda.com in the Community Resources area under Quick Links or What to Use? Database Info located in the orange navigation bar at the top of the Learning Commons home page.

Access to Lynda.com is a resource offered to students, faculty, and staff of Lake Washington Technical College. If you are interested in setting up a Lynda.com account please contact us at Library@lwtc.edu or come visit us in the Library and we’ll help you get started!
