Online learning with a little help from Lynda. I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear. It started with a book on Web design and has been growing ever since. Lynda.com has been a go to destination for learning about software and more for millions. Lynda Weinman, who co-founded the site with her husband Bruce Heavin, says what has really set Lynda.com apart, is its simple subscription approach…
“Well it starts at 25 dollars a month and it’s an all you can learn model where we have over a hundred thousand videos on hundreds of topics. And you can really learn not only at your own speed, but at your own pace as well.”
Lynda.com has partnered with a growing number of colleges and universities. What’s next? Expansion into other countries and languages…
“We just purchased a company and so we are now integrating French, German and Spanish materials into our English speaking materials and translating the Web site and working on a lot behind the scenes.”
You can literally learn more at Lynda.com. You can find us at BootCamp.com. I’m Fred Fishkin.
