Hi Haakon! We totally agree that it is important for our members to be able to keep a user-friendly ‘to do’ list they can reference with ease when they have time. As you can imagine, large development updates take some coordination, but we want you to know we appreciate your feedback and we are actively working on a creative solution to this problem. See you in the Library!

We need a way to organize bookmarks. I have bookmarked selected videoes of certain courses. Now i want to delete(or archive) those bookmarks, but the only way i have found out how this is done is by manually deleting each bookmark. This is not user friendly! The reason why i would liked to delete bookmarks, is because thats the way i keep my “to view” list up to date. With old bookmarks appearing, often taking up several pages, the list is to comlex!

I like the idea and use the bookmarks feature BUT there needs to be a way to reorder them.

I would love to bookmark classes and then list them in the order I plan on taking the classes. Think of it like the Netflix Queue. Currently bookmarks aren’t very helpful to me because I would rather have it working like a work queue OR to-do list OR my Netflix queue.

I love the idea of bookmarks and have been trying to figure out a way to use them easily.

I would love NOT to have to steer to a separate page for the bookmarks. In other words, on the list of movies in each course, under each movie would be my bookmark. A lot of times I need my own reminder of why that movie was particularly helpful to me and it would be nice to see that info at a glance without having to steer to another page.

I find the bookmarks very useful and use them a lot. I think they’re a great idea, especially since my list of courses is getting bigger and bigger. Thanks for this feature.

Oh it does do that! So yeah… I have no complaints then. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to make an optometrist appointment!

I have been bookmarking overall courses, but often find myself bookmarking individual videos too. Now I have a whole ton of bookmarks! I like tagging them and find that it is a fast way for me to keep them organized. That said I think there need to be some more view options.

What about a directory like view? Each tag would appear as a folder and clicking on said tag would reveal all the videos I have bookmarked with that tag.

Rebecca, the movie embedded in this post should get you started on using bookmarks. Thanks everyone for your feedback—keep it coming!

I use the bookmarks feature all the time as I am currently taking the tutorials on several videos.
Setting a bookmark on the way past is so handy when I want to go back and revise some of the work because I haven’t quite mastered a particular technique. Its like putting a sticky note in a book. I can find stuff easily using the tags I have put there myself in my own mind-map jargon. Its great being able to drag the slider back over a segment as often as I need to get the point as well.

I’ve found lynda.com has changed my life. What a great way for a visual (style) learner like myself to stay up on technology changes. Some courses I watch EVERY video…some not.

This is where the bookmarks come in especially handy. I find the bookmarks allows me to “shortcut” through, if I’m visiting something for a particular use, maybe to get up on version changes OR to come back later if I feel that one view isn’t enough.

I haven’t run across any difficulties using them…thanks for the feature!
