A few days ago, I blogged about utilizing my professional development budget for solid training rather than fruitless higher ed conferences that usually end up being little more than a four day bender. The next day, I proposed that we sign up for a premium membership in lynda.com, a warehouse of online training videos on almost every topic you can imagine from the biggest names in interactive. My boss agreed and for only $375/year, far less than attending a single conference, the resources provided are well worth the price.
