Link to a specific tutorial in lynda.com
Let’s say you’ve found a specific tutorial on Lynda.com that you would like to assign to your students to view.
You can now link directly to that lesson, and have Lynda prompt your students to sign-in with their UCLA login ID, rather than give them a complicated set of instructions on how to access the UCLA Lynda license and navigate to a particular tutorial.
For example if you have already gone to UCLA’s Learn IT site and navigated to our Lynda license: https://learnit.ucla.edu/lynda.com-disclaimer
then you found a link to a tutorial that you want your students to view and it looks something like this:
https://www.lynda.com/After-Effects-tutorials/After-Effects-2015-Creative-Cloud-Updates/378849-2.html
what you will want to do is modify that link so that it includes a parameter that associates the link with the ucla.edu domain like this:
When students click on this link they will be prompted for their UCLA credentials before continuing on to that tutorial.
Penn State has done a nice write-up on this feature:
