We are about to start our lynda.com pilot on the Edinburgh campus
lynda.com is an online subscription library that teaches the latest software tools and skills through high-quality instructional videos taught by recognised industry experts.
Students and staff can access the entire lynda.com library of instructional videos from a designated kiosk (PC) in the Edinburgh campus library.
lynda.com kiosk provides: –
-
over 2,000 courses on a wide variety of technology and disciplines
-
short, concise videos that you can search or browse through
-
new courses throughout the year
-
training at beginner to advanced levels
-
anonymous access – no login credentials required
Visit lynda.com for a preview of the service – and come along and try it out in the library.

/ 23 September 2013Is this a dropin kiosk or do we need to book in advance? Is there a PC to work on whilst the tutorial video is running?

/ 23 September 2013It is a dropin – no need to book (we may revise this policy depending on how popular the facility is). There is no PC to work on – but you can bring a laptop as there is wifi in the area. You need a headset – you can borrow one from the Customer Service Desk if necessary. Let me know how you get on if you try it. Best wishes. Moira Stephen, Liaison Services Manager

is there a course on ActionScript in Lynda?

/ 20 June 2014Hi Phillip
Sorry about the delay in replying to your comment.
There’s quite a few courses about ActionScript available on lynda.com. You can see information about these courses online at http://www.lynda.com/ActionScript-training-tutorials/148-0.html , but you’ll need to come into the lynda.com kiosk in library to view the courses.
Hope this helps.
