Overall Satisfaction with lynda.com
We used lynda.com in my previous organization as a counterpart and aid to media marketing, specifically used for people not involved in the production who needed to get up to speed on projects, software, certain tasks, etc. Lynda was used as an introduction and informative partner in various types of media, particularly video production.
- An in-depth tutorial, training, and reviews.
- An influx of information and specialists/experts available to help.
- Online courses for a multitude of topics—we're talking hundreds of videos.
- Able to take this on the go. Don't have to be in a desk at work to use lynda.com.
- Different results depending on each person's learning style or each expert's teaching style. Like in school, not all matchups will be beneficial and totally, completely informational.
- Sometimes the videos can be long, which means it can be easy to get distracted/not pay attention. Sometimes long videos are warranted, sometimes they're not. Lynda is best for candidates with the self-discipline to stay committed.
- Provides onboarding, which helps keep staff up-to-date on the latest software, etc.
- Its assistance also helps save us time. Lynda is something that can be done out-of-office, which means we can get more work done during business hours.
Our organization has used different webinars, including ones on LinkedIn, to provide similar insight. But it's a totally different ballgame. Lynda.com offers in-depth tutorials rather than just a 2-hour video broadcast. With lynda.com there are more information and experts, as well as so many different courses fit for every need/want. There is also a lot more flexibility with lynda. You can take it on the go, watch on mobile and at anytime, rather than being tied to a certain time slot.
