Overall Satisfaction with lynda.com
Lynda.com is used as a resource for software training for both instructors and students. It is used by all areas of studies as the website contains numerous software training that is relevant to the courses offered at the Art Institute. Lynda.com also provides completion certificates that instructors can use to apply as professional development points.
- The training is clear, you can access it on any device.
- The instruction covers all areas of the software in question. It is updated on a regular basis to keep up with software updates.
- Files from the course can be downloaded and used for practice.
- Able to link students directly to another valuable resource for learning (only the free videos)
- Lynda.com pretty much covers all of what I need.
- The only thing is that it is not free and many students don't have the means to subscribe to the training. Perhaps a student price?
- I can't think of a negative impact that Lynda.com has when it relates to the extensive library of training software that is available to subscribers. I'm lucky that my job provides a free subscription for instructors. I use Lynda.com to hone in on my technical skills.
We have both lynda.com and Plural sight at my job. I like lynda.com when I am searching for a specific tool as it contains videos that hone in on teaching the attributes of a specific tool. Pluralsight's videos generally are longer and are more project based. But both sites are excellent resources. I can't really say which is better than the other.
