Lynda.com is a self-teach video library of software training and tutorials.

Closed captioning is being introduced for select training titles, denoted by the CC graphic. The benefits of closed captioning are that it helps those with impaired hearing follow along and also enables you to search the text of the close captioned movies in the library.

Closed captioning is an assistive technology that presents spoken words and sounds as a text track, or captions. The term closed means that not all viewers see the captions automatically; closed captions must be activated or enabled.
