"Lynda.com is a well-known learning resource with thousands of video tutorials, from which the university community can now benefit."
麻豆影院 State students, faculty and staff have access to the full library of courses regardless of their major or department. For instructors, Lynda.com can be used to help supplement class lectures and allow students to learn at their own pace outside of the classroom.
