Did you know that the University has invested in a leading online learning platform that can assist you in taking ownership of many aspects of your professional development? It can also help those of you who teach to support the development of employability skills in your students. Just search for the topic, check out the videos and create your own collection which you can then provide for your students. Whilst whole courses can be from minutes to hours long, each one comprises a number of shorter videos from which you can pick and choose.
All employees now have free access to Lynda.com which is a vast online training library full of content to build business and technology skills. Lynda.com was recently acquired by LinkedIn and the service is also known as LinkedIn Learning. Watch this short video from founder Lynda Weinman.
