This installment in the @5min Video series - lyndaCampus is LIVE! Quick link to site: http://lynda.comminfo.rutgers.edu Description: In these recordings I want to briefly show you how you can add lyndaCampus to your course. While you can always share the link above with any SC&I affiliated student, staff member, or instructor, you can also easily add lyndaCampus to your eCollege or Sakai site as well. The videos below will take you through various methods to share lyndaCampus with your students. Overview of lyndaCampus: For the Fall '12 semester (September 4th-December 21), SC&I will be piloting lyndaCampus. lyndaCampus is a school-wide version of lynda.com, an online training library of over 80,000 video-based tutorials on over 1400 software titles. If the pilot is successful SC&I will further explore licensing lyndaCampus. lyndaCampus will be available for full and part-time instructors, staff, and any students registered in SC&I courses. The service can be used to learn software, programming skills, video techniques, etc.  Titles include: all of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc.), all of Adobe CS5 & CS6 (DreamWeaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, etc.), Fundamentals of Video, iMovie, Social Media Marketing, Twitter, SPSS, Google Docs, HTML5, CSS, MySQL, PHP, Python, C/C++/C#, WordPress, etc. With lyndaCampus access you (and/or your students) can view all recordings, follow along with exercise files, track your progress and even print a certificate of completion.
