Hi Sandie, One good thing about Lynda is that you can email them your syllabus/ideas/needs and they will actually prepare a playlist of the most appropriate and relevant videos for you/your students, which is a huge time saver once you realise the enormity of their resource base! I have an actual name of the person somewhere - do let me know if you'd like me to send it to you. Good luck, Alicja Dr Alicja Syska, FHEA Learning Development Advisor for Arts & Humanities Associate Lecturer in History Editor at the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education University of Plymouth LD: Rm 102, 3 Endsleigh Place | Tue/Fri H: Rm 107, 5 Portland Villas | Wed/Thu Tel: 01752 585149 | Web: www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/asyska <http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/asysk> LD Open Hours: Fridays 10-12, Writing Cafe You may receive this email outside of your normal office hours.

I found the content was of variable quality, and a lot of it was stuff that could be sourced from Youtube or similar places. I didn't get the impression that students used it much, probably for those reasons.

If so, do you know the name of someone in the dept that looks after the packages I could contact for some advice? And if you have any experience of using these platforms yourself/using them with students/colleagues, would be very interested to know what you think … Many thanks all, Sandie Sandie Donnelly Academic Literacies Manager | Information Services T: 01524 590800 Ext: 2728 | E: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> University of Cumbria | Bowerham Rd | Lancaster | LA1 3JD cumbria.ac.uk<http://www.cumbria.ac.uk/> | twitter.com<https://twitter.com/CumbriaUni> | facebook.com<https://www.facebook.com/universityofcumbria> | instagram.com<https://www.linkedin.com/edu/university-of-cumbria-21157> [cid:image001.png@01D39C18.7A868220] University of Cumbria is a Company Limited by Guarantee, Registered in England & Wales No. 06033238.
