Lynda.com tutorials for Office Mac Free !

Thought I share this with everybody.

Anybody who has had a chance to watch and learn from Lynda.com tutorials knows its one of the best online e-learning resources. But it also comes at a decent price (kind of too high for college students if you ask me!).

So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this on the Microsoft website for Mac software. They've arranged for free Lynda.com tutorials for Mac Office.

Of course, if you are an UNL student and have an active blackboard account, you can also access VTC tutorials for free. They have a humongous collection of videos on almost any productivity software.

If you login to Blackboard, go to Community and search VTC. You'll find the username/password to login.

Cheers,
