Upgrade Checklist for Faculty and Staff
If you are sharing Lynda.com playlists or courses with your students or staff for enhanced course work or professional development, please review the checklist items below for important tips to support a smooth transition.
Before the upgrade:
- Review your playlist content. Lynda.com shared playlists will not transition during the upgrade, so you will need to share the URL addresses for the individual Lynda.com courses to ensure access for students and staff following the upgrade.
After the upgrade:

Note: Courses should always be shared through your Carnegie Mellon Lynda.com account to ensure free access. The course URL address will be university-specific and end with ?org=cmu.edu.
