​MOOCs (massive open online courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.
The courses available through these collections tend to be free to audit but often include an option to pay for a verified credential.
Lynda.com is a library of online training resources and tutorials that you can use to learn about creative technology. Topics include animation, audio and video editing, photography, and graphic and web design. Each course is taught by an industry expert and consists of multiple short videos you can watch and replay at any time.
Active faculty and staff, and any students who are enrolled in a credit course at MacEwan University, can access lynda.com tutorials through the Edmonton Public Library website.
Here’s how:
1. You must be an Edmonton Public Library (EPL) member. If you have an EPL membership, go to Step 3.
