As part of my responsibilities within Be Careers Network, Bentley's higher education support group, I often discuss the value and depth of the online learning resources Bentley provides to schools as part of our Academic Subscription program. From these live webcasts I have developed the following short video clips that describe the most common operations a student or faculty member is likely to perform as they take one of the many online courses available via the Bentley LEARN Server. The videos start with locating online courses of interest, carries you through reviewing, registering and taking online courses and concludes with post-completion activities. So, if you are interested in online learning and would like a peek at what Bentley has to offer, here's your chance to learn for yourself.
NOTE: To view the videos you will need a high speed internet connection and Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 or better. The overall length of each video is shown in minutes:seconds.

Using the Advanced Search Feature (6:15) – This video demonstrates how you use the advanced search feature built into the Bentley LEARN Server to locate courses based on more complex search criteria than is provided via the Learning Paths.
There is also the Quick Guide to Bentle LEARN Server User Functions wiki article located in the Be Communities Wiki. It provides additional information about the various operations you can perform on the Bentley LEARN Server.
I will be making more instructional videos about how online learning courses can be incorporated into classroom delivered courses so stay tuned!
