What’s Watson Watching

January 2, 2019

Since RRC’s introduction of Lynda.com in Fall 2018, we have been pleased with the enthusiastic response from staff and faculty across the College. Thank you to everyone who has explored the possibility of using Lynda.com in their courses and to everyone who may have accessed Lynda.com for their professional or personal development.

As someone who deeply values learning, I am a keen user of Lynda.com as a way of broadening my horizons and helping me acquire new skills. As one of my New Year resolutions (and I use that word with some reservation since not all resolutions lead to their intended outcomes!), I have made a commitment to take time to focus on my own learning. I believe Lynda.com can help me achieve that goal.

To hold myself accountable to this goal, I’ll be sharing my journey with the College community on Wednesdays in Staff News over the next 8 weeks, as I watch and review Lynda.com videos. I’ll share my honest reviews with you, including my motivation for choosing the video and how it met (or didn’t meet) my expectations and learning goal(s).

I welcome your comments, feedback and your own Lynda.com reviews as I share What’s Watson Watching each week!
