The University Human Resources
has partnered with the Division of Information Technology and the University
Libraries to bring lynda.com to the university's faculty, staff, and
students.
Lynda.com is an award-winning industry leader in online
training, with a digital library of over 2,300 courses covering a wide range of
technical, business, software and creative topics. The acquisition of lynda is a major
institutional commitment that will provide e-learning opportunities for
employees as a cornerstone of UHR's new Workplace Learning & Development
program, and it places the university on par with most of our CIC (Big 10)
peers in making this robust training resource available.
Accessible 24/7 from your desktop or mobile device, visit
lynda by logging in through www.lyndatraining.umd.edu
with your university Directory ID and password.
You may watch an entire course, or individual videos--some are as short
as four or five minutes. You will be able to bookmark courses that suit your
interests, keep track of the courses you have taken, and when you complete a
course, lynda will award you with a certificate. You have the opportunity to refine or develop
your professional skills, learn new software, and explore other areas as you
plan for your career growth.
Lynda also offers tremendous potential for UMD
supervisors and employees to create employee development plans as part of the
university's PRD process. Effective
supervisors are committed to developing their staff, and they understand
fundamentally that supporting a workplace culture that fosters learning and
development requires continuous personal commitment and access to resources.
Lynda is one such resource that can have a major impact.
As you work with lynda, we are very interested in your
experiences and feedback. If you would
like to use lynda in the PRD process or if you have questions about UHR
Workplace Learning & Development, please contact Cyn Trombly Allen,
Assistant Director, at ctrombly@umd.edu,
or 301.405.5651. If you need assistance with the lynda login process, please
contact the Information Technology Help Desk at 301.405.1000.
