A baker’s dozen from Lynda.com
Lynda.com is probably the best-known provider of self-paced online training for computer software, web development, media production, and related areas. Our campus recently acquired a large number of accounts for faculty, staff, and students. Folks at Notre Dame who want to purchase a VERY inexpensive license can learn more at the OIT website.
The amount of material available at Lynda.com can be overwhelming. To get started, here’s a list of courses you might want to consider (also available as a playlist). The site also has tutorials on the Microsoft Office suite but two topics of interest at Notre Dame are NOT available: Sakai and Zoom.
Note: the public can see sample videos; you need a paid account for full access.
