For nine years, Drake ITS has paid for a campus subscription to Lynda.com to provide access to online self-paced training for software programs like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite.

We announced in March of 2018 that we were unable to successfully negotiate a new long-term agreement that met our budgetary needs. Lynda.com quoted an annual fee that was substantially more money each year than our current fees.

As a result, ITS signed a one-year extension of our current subscription. On June 30, 2019, this extension will expire. We initially had planned to seek out a more cost-effective replacement for Lynda.com, but due to budget changes, we are no longer able to fund a replacement.

We have, however, developed curated lists of Technology Training Resources that we hope are helpful:
Faculty and staff resources
Student resources
