Lynda Weinman founded Lynda.com in 1995 to provide wider access to popular digital arts courses she began teaching at ArtCenter. Often dubbed the mother of the internet, she transitioned from a focus on her successful book about web design to laying the foundation for the future of online learning. Lynda.com was truly the first of it’s kind, and it now offers over 6,000 courses in business, technology, and other creative skills. It was such a success that it was purchased by LinkedIn in 2015 for $1.5 billion. Today Lynda talks about the challenges of being a teacher, why she prefers being a peer, and the unique benefits of an arts education. Follow Lynda on Twitter @lyndaweinman |
