Accessing lynda.com
To access lynda.com at no charge, you must connect through the MIT-specific URL: lynda.mit.edu. You will be required to authenticate, either by certificate or by entering your Kerberos ID and password. You can access lynda.com 24/7 from on or off campus. For more information about how the service works, refer to IS&T's lynda.com FAQ page.
IS&T training on MIT business applications
The IS&T Training Team’s new focus is on business applications specific to MIT. The winter/spring 2011 schedule offers hands-on, instructor-led classes on SAP, Brio/Data Warehouse, Reporting and Financial Tools (RAFT), and Coeus, along with MIT-focused classes on web publishing and FileMaker database management.
IS&T has eliminated fees for its instructor-led classes, all of which are taught on campus. To register for a class, select the Training Tab in the SAP Employee Self Service website.
CompuWorks training
For those who prefer in-class instruction on Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and other commonly used software, IS&T recommends CompuWorks of Boston. Members of the MIT community can view the CompuWorks catalog online and register for classes at deeply discounted rates. Classes are held at the CompuWorks Boston Training Center, located two blocks from South Station on the Red Line.
