Lynda

Lynda is an online learning platform offering a vast library of video courses taught by industry experts. Founded in 1995 by Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin, it initially focused on providing training in creative software, such as graphic design and web development. Over time, the platform expanded its offerings to include a wide range of subjects, encompassing business skills, technology, and personal development.

In 2015, Lynda.com was acquired by LinkedIn, and in 2017, the platform was rebranded as LinkedIn Learning. The acquisition aimed to integrate professional development resources directly into the LinkedIn network, allowing users to discover and pursue learning opportunities relevant to their careers. LinkedIn Learning continues to offer courses on a diverse set of topics, from software proficiency and coding to leadership and marketing strategies. The platform is accessible through a subscription model, providing users with unlimited access to its course catalog. Many educational institutions and corporations also offer subscriptions to their students and employees.
