Lynda.com resources for academics
Lynda.com is an online learning platform which all Coventry staff and students now have access to.
With thousands of videos available via the platform, Lynda.com is an excellent tool for staff to experiment with blended learning approaches. Instead of using valuable classroom time to play videos, staff can direct students to watch specific videos during their independent study time, and then complement this with follow-up discussion or activities.
Videos are created with subject experts, ensuring high quality content, and can easily be posted to moodle to share them with students. The focus is on developing skills- so whether your students are learning computer programming, technical drawing or project management, using Lynda.com saves you from creating instructional videos from scratch.
In addition, the platform hosts a wealth of videos on developing teaching skills, such as introducing blended learning, using social media in your teaching, understanding 21st centry learners.
