Case Study: Bowling Green State University achieves higher student engagement and stronger multimedia projects with LinkedIn Learning

Online courses from lynda.com help Bowling Green students push creative boundaries in multimedia courses

Bowling Green State University instructor Dr. Terry Herman faced the challenge of teaching a Principles of Multimedia Production course to students with widely varying software skills and learning needs. lynda.com provided a library of on-demand instructional videos that could be accessed 24/7, offering a scalable way to supplement course materials and accommodate individual pacing.

Herman integrated a multi-user lynda.com subscription with online texts, using the site as a virtual lab where students built personalized learning plans, reported weekly usage, and reflected on progress. The result was higher engagement and stronger multimedia projects—students produced the best work Herman had seen in five years—and the course was redesigned to require lynda.com access as a standard resource.
