		<description><![CDATA[Dear Lynda and Team at Lynda.com,

First of all, I would like to thank you all for the great content on this website. Lynda.com is a great tool to learn new skills and techniques related to various fields, and the courses are really clear and enjoyable. 

I would like to congratulate you all for the investment opportunity you have accepted and I wish you all the best for the future. By watching your content, it is clear that the whole team at Lynda.com are passionate about what they do and care about the subscribers and I am really happy that Lynda.com will be able to expand. 

I have spoken to a lot of my coworkers about Lynda.com and I was disappointed to see that many of them are not aware about how much they can learn on your site. I hope that in the future, more people will know about your website. 

A simple idea that I have for you is this: 

Your courses are clear and one can learn a great amount of things by watching all these videos. Being a recent graduate, I have take many online courses and I can tell you that none of them is even close in quality and content to Lynda.com. This is why I think that maybe you could investigate a little Lynda.com University. I understand the challenges of going into that direction but I strongly believe that your team can achieve great results in the matter. You could have little quizzes at the end of each section and a more general quiz at the end of each course. Sure one could cheat and watch the videos again while taking the quiz but you could block people from doing so once they start the quiz. And even then, having challenging exercices can sometime really help in the understanding and practice and while it would not have the recognition that a University does, it would be a good thing to add on your linkedin account instead of a simple certification. 

You could also implement it in a way that, say I am told to take a course by my manager, I could do it from home and have my manager review the results I got from the test as a proof that I did watch it and understood the content. 

I am certain you have great ideas already but I thought I could share the idea with you regardless. 

Good luck, and thank you for your hard work and dedication,
