font-family:Arial">The IS&T Training Team is reviewing its suite of
web-based training resources. As you may be aware, we presently offer Element
K’s on-line learning to the MIT Community. While Element K is content
rich and offers many learning management tools, many people find the user
experience to be poor and usage is down. We are now investigating alternate
web-based learning opportunities that provide wide topic coverage and engaging
curriculum. One solution continues to rise to the top: <a href="http://www.lynda.com/" title="http://www.lynda.com/">www.Lynda.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;

font-family:Arial"><a href="http://Lynda.com">Lynda.com</a> offers a rich selection of online training videos
that address a broad selection of software tools at introductory, advanced, and
technical support levels. The videos feature engaging industry experts who
explain concepts with easy-to-follow how-to demonstrations. Each
‘course’ is segmented into short video clips – this allows
learners to really hone in on the knowledge they wish to acquire. Many schools
presently offer <a href="http://Lynda.com">Lynda.com</a> to their community as part of their online offerings,
most notably Stanford and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Indiana</st1:placename>
