On Wednesday, April 13, Morton Library will introduce a
dedicated learning station in the Digital Learning Lab (Morton 203) that will
give all students, faculty and staff on the Richmond campus access to a vast
library of video tutorials for a wide range of technology products and
services. Our annual subscription to Lynda.com will give you access to
tutorials on business applications such as Microsoft 365, presentation products
such as Prezi, learning management systems such as Blackboard 9 (our version),
and training in using audio editing software such as Garage Band or
Audacity. These are just a few examples of the hundreds of training
courses that Lynda.com can offer you.
If you would like to check out the full range of Lynda.com
training videos, go to https://www.lynda.com/
and click on Library at the top of the screen.
We are trying out a dedicated learning station for this
service this year. The downside of this is that you will need to come to
the Library to learn from the site but the Instructional Resource Center staff
is available every day between 8 am – 5 pm to get you started and we’re happy
to open the Lab at other times with advance notice. If this proves to be
a useful tool, we can explore other options next year that could allow you to
access what you need from your office or dorm room.
We’ll have the Digital Learning Lab open from 1 – 5 pm
every day next week (April 18-22) for the grand unveiling of our learning
station and hope you’ll stop by to see what it can offer you. If you
can’t visit during our open house introduction, please let us know a convenient
time and we’ll be glad to get you started learning!
