lyndaCampus

The lynda.com Online Training Library is an excellent resource offering thousands of self-paced video tutorials on a wide range of computer skills. Topics offered include Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, programming languages, basic computer skills, and more. Thanks to a partnership between Emerson College and lynda.com, these resources are now available to you free, through a program called lyndaCampus.

Sign up

1. From a computer connected to the campus network, go to iplogin.lynda.com and click the create a profile button*
2. Enter your first and last name in the appropriate fields.
3. In the user name field, enter your emerson.edu email address

At the top of the page, you can browse tutorials by subject, software, or author, or just use the search bar to find what you need. There is also a menu called my courses, from which you can access your usage history, any bookmarks you may have set, your course-completion certificates, and any courses you may have put in your queue for future viewing.
