Draft:Lynda course suggestions

About this article

This article includes lynda course recommendations developed by a WSU MIS student, Cory Ethan Muldrow, as part of a class project in 2015. Tool-specific suggestions have since been updated to reflect the most current version of the tool. This is intended for the entire campus community, but may be of greatest interest to instructors interested in integrating lynda content into their courses.
