It’s a new year so why not start off with some new skills using Middlebury’s “secret” benefit. LinkedIn Learning is a video-based on-demand instruction resource available to all academic year faculty, staff, and students, both here and at Monterey. (If you already knew about this fantastic benefit then pat yourself on the back and skip ahead to the course suggestions.) Middlebury’s licensing includes exercise files for all courses and there is no cost to you. There’s never been a better time to log in, explore the offerings and add some new skills to your work, school, or personal “toolkit.” You can watch short, 2 to 3-minute movies or work through an entire course — with over twenty thousand courses there is something for everyone!
