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.
If you have any questions, contact Julie Halstead at j.halstead@rcs.ac.uk
Have you time for a little professional reading?
We put together a short list of some recent books suitable for teachers in the higher education sector. Do take a look! HERE.
(These are live links so staff at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland can easily see if books are currently on the library shelves, or if they're already on loan.)
Just another helpful posting from your colleagues at the Whittaker Library!
Storify - tell your story
Storify is a way of telling a story using social media, pulling together resources and linking them with your own text.
It's another kind of blog, in a sense. But it's easy and fun - I can see myself using it again. Here's a story I made up in my lunchbreak:-
Musings on Creativity: book review of The Fiddletree, by Otis A. Tomas.
Coaching and mentoring
The Whittaker Library has added four new coaching and mentoring books to stock. Find full details in our catalogue, here. Great for staff development.
