WGU Professional Development Courses?
#1
I was curious if anyone on here knew about these. I found them the other day and I was wondering if they are at all useful? Here are some of the sources: FranklinCovey, MindEdge, Lynda.com, and SkillPort.
WGU covers the cost of taking any of these professional development courses. Any thoughts anybody?

I wasn't sure if you could access them if you weren't a student. So I looked gathered the sources separately.

I've used Lynda and Skillport both through my work and WGU to add supplemental material to WGU and to brush up on some non-academic topics. I'm not a big fan of Skillport for the most part, but it's certainly not awful if you're not paying for it. There's a lot of great stuff on Lynda though. It's various providers delivering content on the platform, though, so some things will be better than other.s
