Creative Artists at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, here's a CPD Opportunity!

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has acquired a trial of the lynda.com Campus resource - a vast online library of engaging video tutorials that can help anyone learn software, creative, and business skills.
. 
RCS staff and students are urged to try out this excellent resource during this trial period which will run from 31st October to 14th November.

To learn about navigating the site, exploring helpful features, finding specific instruction, and more, you can view an introductory video and watch the ‘How to use lynda.com’ course.

IT trainer Julie Halstead explains that you will need to create a profile, to try this resource during the trial period:-

• Visit http://iplogin.lynda.com while you are in the Conservatoire, and type in your Conservatoire email address, then click the ‘Create a profile’ button.
  
  You will then be asked to enter your details and create a password for your Lynda profile. Once you have done this you will be able to login to access it via lynda.com from outside the Conservatoire also.
