Indian Hills is partnering with Lynda.com to provide our students, faculty, and staff with 24/7 access to an extensive, high-quality,
online training library that includes more than 2,375 courses, primarily focused on
how to use various software programs, but also extending to wider topics, such as
photography and giving effective presentations.
Software training is appropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced users, and includes the entire Adobe Creative Suite of software (such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, etc.), Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and OneNote), and more.
While Lynda.com courses are not offered "for credit," users can download certificates when they complete a course on Lynda.com.
