About the IU-lynda.com agreement

On this page:

The lynda.com agreement


Lynda.com provides online educational materials, instructional books, and CD- and DVD-based video training. The service offers video-based eLearning courses on more than 1000 topics, with a primary focus on Adobe and open source applications and technologies, multimedia and web development, and programming.

Although lynda.com is ordinarily offered to anyone for a fee, through an agreement between Indiana University and lynda.com, lynda's rich course content is available free of charge to IU students, faculty, and staff from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013. To access lynda.com, visit IT Training's Lynda.com Online Training.
