On November 2, TLT completed the upgrade to lyndaCampus. This upgrade includes new features such as the ability to bookmark individual courses and movies, support for personal profiles, and certificates of completion. Additional details about these enhancements can be found on the lynda.com at Penn State site.
lynda.com is an award winning provider of eLearning on hundreds of popular software applications such as Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Access, Excel, and PowerPoint. Since 2009 this service has been available for free to all active Penn State faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students.
TLT recently created a new website dedicated to just lynda.com which can be found at lynda.psu.edu. One of the goals of the site is to give the service more visibility and make it easier to access. Moving it from the ITS Training Services site to lynda.psu.edu is just one strategy for accomplishing this. Another goal includes helping faculty, staff, and students understand how it can benefit them personally. Currently, there are examples listed for each audience. A long-term goal is to create case studies highlighting best practices and success stories.
We are in the final stages of upgrading our existing contract to the lyndaCampus model. This will provide support for personal profiles, allow users to print certificates of completion, and bookmark individual courses and movies. More details will be posted at lynda.psu.edu as they are finalized.
